Which Indian festival is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile?
Diwali
Diwali is correct.
According to the Ramayana, Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya with Sita and Lakshmana after 14 years of exile and the defeat of Ravana. The people of Ayodhya lit rows of earthen lamps (diyas) to welcome him, and this is celebrated as Diwali, the festival of lights, on Kartik Amavasya.
Holi celebrates spring and the legend of Prahlad and Holika; Navratri is the nine-night worship of Goddess Durga; and Dussehra (Vijayadashami) marks Rama's victory over Ravana, which comes about twenty days before his return to Ayodhya, not the return itself.
