Special Trains for Special Festival: Diwali

Many festivals are celebrated all across India in different states. While some festivals are typical to one state, there are a few festivals that are celebrated with equal pomp in every part of India. One such festival is Diwali.

Diwali is also popularly referred to as the Festival of Lights. There are many stories surrounding the origin of this Hindu festival. The most popular story about this festival is that when Ramachandra came back to Ayodhya after defeating the Lanka King Ravana, the people decked up the entire city in lights and burst crackers. This became a tradition and people celebrate this even today. It is mainly a festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil.

Diwali is the time when families meet, distribute sweets and gifts and spend quality time with each other. People travel from one city to another so that they can meet their loved ones and enjoy the celebrations with them. Diwali is generally celebrated between late October and mid-November. This is a very busy time since many people travel from one part of the country to another. More often than not the regularly plying trains are not sufficient to support the huge inflow of travellers.
