The story of Deepavali

Update: 2022-10-23

Description

There are at least two stories that tell us why we celebrate Deepavali. The slaying of the demon Narakasura and the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after killing Ravana.Who was Narakasura? What was the boon he received? How was he born? At whose hands did he die? And why do we follow the various rituals. Listen on to Sudha Umashanker who knits it all together in this episode.
