Puzzle cube mural made on Diwali

Diwali isn’t just about lights, sweets, and fireworks—it’s a festival that celebrates hope, victory, and new beginnings. Rooted in ancient legends, it marks Lord Ram’s return to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile, Krishna’s triumph over Narakasura, and Goddess Lakshmi’s arrival, bringing prosperity and fortune. But beyond mythology, Diwali is a reminder that even the darkest night can be conquered by a single spark of light.

Yet, the true essence of Diwali lies not in external celebrations but inner transformation. Just as we clean our homes, it’s a time to cleanse our hearts—letting go of grudges, fears, and negativity. It’s an opportunity to embrace new goals, spread kindness, and rekindle relationships. Because at its core, Diwali teaches us that no matter how long the struggle, light will always prevail—within us and around us.
