Why do we celebrate?
The word ‘Diwali’ means ‘row of
lights’. It’s called the Festival of
Lights because people decorate their
homes with lamps and candles to
symbolise the triumph of light over
dark. Lamps in windows and
doorways welcome home Lord Rama,
from the story of Rama and Sita.

Rama and Sita
A long time ago, there was a brave
warrior, Prince Rama, and his wife,
Sita. Rama and Sita were banished
from their home by the King.
Rama’s brother Lakshmana was
banished too. One day, a terrifying
demon king named Ravana kidnapped
Sita and took her far away.
