Sikhs do not celebrate Diwali but celebrations take place at this time as Diwali coincides with the Sikh celebration of Bandi Chor Divas This coincidence has resulted in similarity of celebrations amongst Sikhs and Hindus.
Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chor Divas to mark the return of the Sixth Guru,Sri Guru Hargobind Ji, who was freed from imprisonment and also managed to release 52 Hindu Kings (political prisoners) at the same time from the famous fort of Gwalior by Emperor Jahangir in October, 1619.
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).
