5 Days of Diwali

Ask someone what Diwali celebrates and you'll probably hear the same answer.

The return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya.

And they're not wrong.

But that's only one chapter of a much bigger story.
Over five days, Diwali unfolds through different myths, each tied to a different moment in Hindu mythology. From the emergence of Dhanvantari during Samudra Manthan to Krishna's victory over Narakasura and the worship of Govardhan Hill, every day has a story of its own.

Most of us celebrate these days every year.
This collection is an invitation to discover them.
