The great epic of Ramayana contains the most popular legend attached to the meaning behind the Festival of Deepavali. It is said that when the epitome of human virtue ' Maryada Purushottam ' Sri Rama returned to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile which he accepted only unfair to honor its elders, and this will be an example for human society at all times come, people of Ayodhya lit rows of terrestrial diyas to welcome their rightful ruler back. His brother Bharata had ruled Ayodhya in these 14 years as its agent and duly had installed Rama's Charan padukas on the throne of Ayodhya!
Another explanation is associated with one of the days of Diwali is related with the day following Dhanteras, popular known as ' Chhoti Diwali '. ' Chhoti Diwali ' is also celebrated as ' Naraka Chaturdasi ' as Krishna and Satyabhama killed demon, Naraka. Despite Lord Indra intervenes in the process, believes Lord Krishna his superiority in to put an end to the demon Naraka on this day. Not only was Lord Krishna the divine Advisor to Arjuna and Pandavas in the epic battle of justice versus the evil represented by the Kauravas, he-as the incarnation of Lord Vishnu-Preserver is also the vanquisher of Narakasura. This event from Krishna's life is sacred to the memory of ' Chhoti Diwali '.
We can see how Lord Krishna and Sri Rama, regarded both as avatars (incarnations) of Lord Vishnu is inherent in traditions and the basis for the most important festival of the all in the Hindu calendar-the Holy Festival Deepawali. Both the Hindu gods are among the most respected and most popular gods in Hinduism. They worshipped in almost all Hindu homes and remembered in times of need as well as trial version. ' Hey Ram ' and ' Radhe Krishna ' are two of the most common phrases, one can hear in religious Hindu homes.
