Flying home for Deepavali

Rama's Journey, stage 10 of 10: Lanka → Ayodhya

The fourteen years are over at last. Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, and Hanuman board the Pushpaka Vimana, a flying palace, and soar over everything - the bridge, the forests, the rivers - all the way home. Ayodhya glows with rows of little oil lamps to welcome them, and that is the very first Deepavali.
