Question
A smaller holiday during this holiday commemorates how Sudarshana consoled the grieving king Nandivardhan (“nahn-dee-VAHR-dahn”). This holiday is the main time when people go to the Jal Mandir in Pawapuri and listen to recitations of the Uttaradhyayana (“ooh-tah-rah-DYAH-yah-nah”) sutra. This holiday comes immediately before a holiday that, like Raksha Bandhan, honors siblings and commemorates when the Tirthankara Mahavira attained (*) nirvana, according to Jainism. This holiday immediately precedes Bhai Dooj (“BYE DOOZH”) and overlaps the Sikh holiday of Bandi Chhor Divas. This holiday takes place in the last days of the month of Ashwin and at the beginning of the month of Kartika. This holiday celebrates both Rama’s return to Ayodhya (“uh-YO-dyah”) and the goddess Lakshmi. For 10 points, name this Indian “festival of lights.” ■END■
