It is also believed that on the Diwali day the Goddess Lakshmi Goddess of wealth rose up from the ocean. The Hindu legends tells us that long long ago the Devas(Gods) and Asuras(Demons) were mortal. They had to die sometime or other like humans. However, they wanted to live forever so they churned the ocean to seek Amrita. It is also known as Samudra Manthan, during which many objects came up. Prime among these was Goddess Lakshmi. On that night Lord Vishnu married her.
Excellent lamps were lit and placed in rows to mark this divine occasion. Even today, Hindus celebrate the birth of the Goddess Lakshmi and her marriage to Lord Vishnu on Diwali and pray for her blessings for the coming year. Though there are many stories behind Diwali day but still it is the most famous festival that indicates our unity across all the religions in India.
