The origins of Divaali are celebrated in this vividly illustrated retelling of the story of Rama and Sita and their battle with the demon god, Ravana. With the aid of Hanuman, God of the Wind, Rama and his brother, Lakshmana, defeat the many-headed monster and rescue Sita from his dark kingdom. The triumph of light over darkness is commemorated in the myriad lamps and fireworks that mark this festival. Further information about these celebrations is given in an afterword.
