·        Return of Lord Rama :

The very first one & well known reason is Return of Lord Rama on new moon day (Amavasya) or 15th day of kartik month to Ayodhya  after killing the evil king Ravana & passing a long period of 14 years in exile. He returned with his wife Sita & brother Lakshaman , so people of Ayodhya decorated the entire city with earthern lamps (diyas).   Rows (aavali) of lamps (deep) that people lit to welcome their king gives name to this festival Deepawali .
 

·        5th incarnation of lord Vishnu as Vaman avatar:

The second reason is about the 5th incarnation (avatar) of Lord Vishnu as vaman avatar, who protected goddess Lakshmi from the prison of king bali, a booned king by lord Brahma for being undefeatable by even gods. Vishnu became a Brahmin & approached king for charity. King couldn’t  refuse & gave his kingdom & wealth (for that Lakshmi is said to be goddess). That’s  why goddess Lakshmi  is worshipped.
 

·        Birth of Goddess Lakshmi :

The third reason is birth of goddess Lakshmi took on the same day. At the time of churning of ocean to seek Amrita (samudra manthan) many celestial bodies were came up. Goddess Lakshmi, daughter of king of that milky ocean incarnated or arose from depth of ocean on the new moon day of kartik month i.e. Diwali.
 

·        Killing of Narkasura :   

The fourth reason behind celebration of Diwali is killing of narkasur. He was son of varaha murthy  incarnation of Vishnu and earth (Prithvi Maa). When he was quite young, Earth mother prays to lord Vishnu not to kill him in future as narkasur shows his destructive powers so lord Vishnu promises and said that no one can kill him except you. As time passes, narkasur became powerful. Vishnu & earth took incarnation in the form of Krishna and Satyabhama. Narkasur start challenging all kings then he faces Krishna with Satyabhama. When narkasur attack Krishna then satyabhama start fighting with him & then he died. That day is said to be Narak Chaturdashi.
