When we think of Diwali, an illuminated and colourful décor is the first thing that comes to our minds. It is known as the festival of light for a reason. Everyone decorates their household with vibrant lights, beautiful décor items, spiritual figurines, colourful rangolis, and of course- with love. When Lord Rama returned from his exile, people around the village decorated their houses with diyas and rangolis to welcome him. It was to celebrate his victory over evil. Houses were lit up as lights are associated with goodness and positive energy.
