Diwali tale

Diwali – the festival of lights – is on October 26th this year.  Diwali celebrates the return of Rama and Sita, after their exile in the forest, and Sita’s kidnap by Ravana the Demon King.  As Rama and Sita walk across India, people light little lamps, diyas, and place them outside their houses, to light the path and lead them home.
