And so the Kings/rajahs were freed and the Guru became known popularly as the "Bandi Chor" (Deliverer from prison). He arrived at Amritsar on the Diwali day and the HarMandar (also known as the "Golden Temple") was lit with hundreds of lamps to celebrate his return and hence the day came to be known as the "Bandi Chhor Divas" (the day of freedom).

Why do Sikh people celebrate Diwali?
Sikhs do not celebrate Diwali they celebrate bani chhor diwas. The word "Bandi" is translated from Punjabi into English as "Imprisoned" (or "Prisoner"), "Chhor" as "Release," and "Divas" as "Day," rendering "Bandi Chhor Divas" from Punjabi into English as "Prisoners' Release Day." Bandi Chhor Divas coincides with the Hindu festival of Diwali ("The Festival of Lights"), which has resulted in a similarity of celebrations among Sikhs and Hindus on their respective holy days and has led to confusion between the two holidays and the mistaken belief that the holidays are one and the same, which they are not. Bandi Chhor Divas is a celebration of the safe return of Guru Har Gobind and his followers from detention at the Gwalior Fort (Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India) in the Fall of 1619.
