Why is Diwali celebrated 21 days after Dussara. India

Why is Diwali celebrated 21 days after Dussara. They told me that it took Rama 21 days to walk from Srilanka to Ayodhya.

I then checked it in Google maps and I was just shocked to see it does take 21 days (as per Google Walk) to get back

So Rama did exist and he knew the fastest route too!!! I am speechless.

Hello @tatateja ,

Yes you are right.

When Shree Ram came to ayodhya with mata Sita and others after the great victory over Demon king Ravan, all the people’s in his kingdom celebrated great and welcome them with lightened deepak / diya’s thus it is named deepawali ( दीपो की अवलि or chain of enlightened deepak’s )

If we did study well of our holy books/ Granthas we will come to know and understand that every single word written in those books was well tested before it was mentioned.

Like…

  1. Distance of Sun from earth , mentioned in Hanuman Chalisa.

  2. Most Detailed Calculation of time.

  3. Design and prototype of Aeroplane in viman sashtra.

It is to be said that there was 32 type of Aeroplanes described in that book.

  1. All practice in Jains are based on Science, similar in other religion’s too.

  2. Power of Mantras, now days researchers and scientists also acknowledge it.

And there are lot lot many…

Thanks
