I was not familiar with that at all, so I had to look it up! It's Hindu, right? Did you fast before it?

Good over evil--sounds worthwhile to me! What tradition is this from?

This is from the Hindu culture, which taught the world about Karma. This is celebrated when Lord Ram killed Ravan for his wrong doings
