Diwali recognizes the triumph of Rama, one of Vishnu's most revered incarnations.As he and his wife, Sita, returned after the battle with the demon-king Ravana, their kingdom welcomed them home during a moonless night by lighting oilless lamps lining every street, doorway, and windowsill.The sight of a single flame rising defiantly from a small unglazed oil lamp, its flame flickering in wisps of gentle nighttime breezes, elicits warm and cardinal feelings of hope and resilience that transcend age, time, or religious beliefs.
