According to Ramayana, when Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya after slaying the demon king Ravana of Lanka, the people of the city decorated the entire Ayodhya with lamps to welcome him. This day was the day of Diwali and since then this festival started being celebrated as the victory of good over evil. Apart from this, this day is also celebrated as the birthday of Mata Lakshmi, who is considered the goddess of wealth, prosperity and happiness.
