Diwali in Sikihism

According to Sikhism
According to Sikhism, Diwali has been greatly significant since the illumination of the Holy town of Amritsar commemorating the homecoming of Guru Har Gobind Ji (1595-1644). He was the sixth Guru of Sikhism, who was imprisoned by Emperor Jahangir along with other m.Hindu kings at Fort Gwalior. After releasing the other prisoners, Guru ji went to the Harmandir Sahib which is popularly known as the Golden Temple in the holy city of Amritsar in Punjab, where the Guru ji was welcomed happily by the people who lit thousands of candles and divas to warmly greet the Guru. Due to this, Sikhs often refer to Diwali festival day as “Bandi Chhorh Divas”that is “the day of release of detainees.”
