Wishing everyone a joyous, prosperous, loving , Diwali. I time to share love, and learning and to look forward to a lifetime of prosperity and happiness. One of the primary reasons for Diwali, is the celebration of the return of prince Ram, Sita and Lakshman to Ayodhya and Ram's coronation as king. When Ram was sent to exile, Bharat who was supposed to be king, refused the position and went after Ram to request him to come back . Ram didn't want to break his father's words so refused to return until the period of exile was over. Bharat too was adamant, so they reached a compromise. Ram gave Bharat his footwear, which would be placed on the throne, and Bharat would rule as Ram's representative in ayodhya, while he lived in a cottage outside the palace. After 14 years , ram returns, and Bharat offers him the kingdom, the footwear being a symbol of this. Ram is crowned king and the city rejoices with lamps and light, marking the begining of the tradition of Diwali. #welcometothelandofbhaarat #ancientindianstories #vaanarsena #vanarsena #ram #ramayana #diwali #diwal2019 # lights #festival #celebration #india #indianart #story #love #blue #mumbai #bangalore https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HWHKdnpkj/?igshid=1hhq621s78guk
