Celebrate Diwali at Docklands

29 Oct 2022 1PM - 9PM

Story Behind diwali

In North India, Diwali commemorates Prince Rama's triumphant return to the city of Ayodhya after 14 years of exile due to the plotting of his evil stepmother-and after a heroic rescue of his wife Sita, an incarnation of the goddess Lakshmi, who had been kidnapped by the rival king Ravana.

In South India, meanwhile, Diwali honors the victory of Lord Krishna over the demon king Narakasura, who had imprisoned 16,000 women in his palace and meted out harsh punishments to any of his subjects who dared stand up against him.

And in western India, the festival celebrates Vishnu's banishment of King Bali-whose immense power had become a threat to the gods--to the underworld.
