Ramayana teaches us the value of being a good son and the value of being a good wife, the value of being a wonderful brother, as Ram continued with all his relationships and gave his best in every relationship. That is what the story of Ram is all about. And the end is the victory of good over evil."Nepal's Ambassador to India also shared how Diwali is celebrated in his country, he said, "Sitaji is from Nepal and it is linked to Ramayan and the festival of Diwali. In Nepal, it is celebrated for 5 days on the first two days gods are worshipped, third and fourth days, animals are worshipped and the fifth day is a reunion for brother and sister which is called Bhai Tika in Nepal, similar to Bhai Dooj in India which is very important for people to people relationship."( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
