Diwali, the festival of lights, symbolizes the victory of good over evil and commemorates Lord Ram's return to his kingdom, Ayodhya, after completing a 14-year exile. This year, Diwali will be celebrated across the country on 12 November, on the same day as Kali Puja, which is dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali. (Photo by Piyal Adhikary/EPA)
