Festival of lights

Today is an important and auspicious day for Hindus. This day is known as 'Deepaavali'. 

Lord Shree Krishna, who killed the demon Narakaasura with the help of Sathyabhaamaa (although He himself was capable of killing the demon himself, He enacted a Devine Drama here according to Sctiptures). It is on the request of Mother Earth, mother of the demon, to Shree Krishna, that this day is celebrated with festive spirit by all Hindus.

On this day, Shree Mahaa Lakshmi, wife of Shree Mahaa Vishnu, is offered special worship.

A learned Pundit explains the significance of Deepaavali in Kannada language, in this UTube video.
