President OBAMA wishes HAPPY DEEWALI




We are pleased to here Deewali message from President Obama, however he was wrongly informed about the reason of celebrating DEEWALI. In his speech, he was mentioning that it is celebrated in the occasion of return of lord Ram from Exile, which is not true! He mixed DEEWALI with Dashain, however his intention to extend best wishes is praiseworthy!

Indian Celebrate Diwali because Lord Ram had won against Rawan and returned Ayodhaya safely. And people of Ayodha did fireworks and welcomed Rama with full light...so that is why Indians call dewali.

Diwali is also called as deepavali and it is called as festival of light from the words "deep" which translates as "light" and avali which means "a row". The day diwali is celebrated, people in Ayodhyaa light kingdom with small lamps to welcome the Lord rama and wife sita.
