According to Hindu mythology, there was a great demon king Bali, who wanted to be the master of all the three worlds (earth, sky and earth), had the gift of unlimited powers from Lord Vishnu. There was only poverty in the whole world because the entire wealth of the earth was held by King Bali. Lord Vishnu saved all three worlds (in his Vamana avatar, the 5th avatar) and freed Goddess Lakshmi from his prison to continue the laws of the universe created by God. From then on, the day began to be celebrated as the victory of God over the power of evil and saving the goddess of wealth.
The day before the main Diwali is celebrated as Narak Chaturdashi. A long time ago, there was a demon king (reigned in Pradoshapuram) named Narakasura, who persecuted people and kept 16000 women in his prison. Lord Krishna (the 8th incarnation of Lord Vishnu) had saved the lives of all those women from the custody of Narakasura by killing him. From that day it is celebrated to commemorate the victory of truth over evil power.
According to the great Hindu epic Mahabharata, the Pandavas returned to their kingdom on the new moon of Kartik month after a long period of expulsion (12 years). He was expelled for 12 years after losing in gambling to the Korvas. The people of the kingdom of Pandavas were very happy to come to the kingdom of Pandavas and started celebrating the return of Pandavas by lighting earthen lamps and firecrackers.
