What is this passage about? [br]
India is the land of festivals. Diwali is the Festival of Light and is celebrated with fervour and gaiety throughout the country to ward off the darkness and welcome light into everyone’s lives. A four-day celebration marks the festival, the first day of which, "Naraka Chaturdasi" commemorates the vanquishing of the immensely powerful demon Naraka by Lord Krishna and his wife Satyabhama. The second day is "Amavasya" when prayers are offered to the goddess of prosperity, Lakshmi, for it is believed that on this day Lakshmi is in her most benevolent mood and is ready to fulfill the wishes of her devotees. Indians queue up for hours to pay homage at the Lakshmi temples on Amavasya. The third day is "Kartika Shudda Padyami" but is of comparatively minor relevance. The fourth day is referred to as "Yama Dvitiya" and on this day brothers are invited to their sisters’ homes. In north India it is also celebrated as the return of Rama from 14 years in exile after killing the wicked King Ravan. To commemorate his return to his homeland, Ayodhya, his subjects illuminated the kingdom & burst crackers. The city streets are festooned with tinsel and fairy lights, and excitement fills the air.
