**Badaun, October 29, 2024:** Today, on the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras, marks the beginning of the five-day Diwali festival, a significant celebration in the Sanatan Dharma. This festival, rooted in the belief of universal well-being, transcends boundaries of caste, religion, region, and country. It represents a collective prayer for the happiness and prosperity of all living beings.
Diwali, a festival of lights, symbolizes the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya, heralding the establishment of Rama Rajya – a reign of peace and prosperity for all.
On this joyous occasion, commentator Sushil Dhiingda urges everyone to participate in Diwali celebrations, even if it’s by sharing happiness with a neighboring family. This, he believes, is a crucial step towards fostering unity and well-being within our communities.
