Diwali, the festival of lights, represents the victory of good over evil. The return of Lord Ram from exile after defeating Ravan embodies the spirit of this festival.
But the three day festival invokes several other legends – the birthday of Goddess Lakshmi, return of Pandavas from exile, coronation of King Vikarmaditya, even the attainment of Nirvaana by Mahaveer.
This Epified video gives a sample of the rich myths of Diwali with charming hand-drawn illustrations.
Our gripe - the myths here are too rich and varied to be captured by a two minute video.
