Detailed explanation-1: -It is a Sikh festival honouring the day in 1619 when the sixth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Hargobind Ji, liberated 52 kings jailed by Mughal Emperor Jahangir. He was also imprisoned along with them. On this day, he returned to Amritsar from Gwalior, and this homecoming was heralded by the illuminating thousands of lamps.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diwali is especially important for Sikhs. Sikhs celebrate diwali as Bandi Chhor Divas, or the day of liberation.
