    Lord Rama came back to Ayodhya after killing ravana in Lanka. The journey from lanka to ayodhaya took 21 days, thus Diwali is celebrated 21 days after dusheera, which marks victory of good over evil.

    we celebrate diwali bcoz on that day lord rama came back to ayodhya from banvas for 14yrs and on that day people were happy bcoz lord rama bas was back.
    another reason is on that day lord mahavir(vardhaman) god of jain people died and their soul reached to heaven.

    According to the epic ‘Ramayana’, it was the new moon day of Kartik when Lord Ram, Ma Sita and Lakshman returned to Ayodhya after vanquishing Ravana and conquering Lanka. The citizens of Ayodhya decorated the entire city with the earthen lamps and illuminated it like never before.

    Goddess Lakshmi’s Birthday: The Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi incarnated on the new moon day (amaavasyaa) of the Kartik month during the churning of the ocean (samudra-manthan), hence the association of Diwali with Lakshmi
