<h2>The Origins and History of Diwali</h2>
<p>
Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is one of the most popular Hindu
festivals celebrated globally.
It signifies the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
The festival has a rich history rooted in various religious and
cultural traditions.
Diwali usually lasts five days, with each day having its own
significance.
</p>
<p>
The festival is often associated with the legend of Lord Rama's
return to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana.
People lit oil lamps, or diyas, to illuminate his path and celebrate
his victory.
This tradition continues today with the lighting of lamps, candles,
and colorful decorations during Diwali.

Diwali is also associated with the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the
goddess of wealth and prosperity.
People clean their homes and decorate them to welcome the goddess
and seek her blessings for a prosperous year ahead.

Over the years, Diwali has evolved to include various customs and
traditions, making it a vibrant and joyous celebration
that brings families and communities together.
