The Festival of Lights will soon be upon us. The holiday season of Diwali, also called Deepawali, is when we prepare to decorate every surface of our homes with flowers, lights, and rangolis, clean our homes thoroughly, and buy new clothes to wear to get-togethers and parties with our loved ones. Everyone is confused about one thing as the preparations get underway. Is November 1st or October 31st the date of the celebration?
According to the Hindu calendar, Diwali is celebrated every year on the Amavasya Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. This time the Amavasya Tithi will start on October 31 at 3:52 pm, as per Drik Panchang. Meanwhile, Lakshmi Puja will be held on October 31 since the Amavasya moon will be visible that evening. The Amavasya Tithi will end on November 1 at 5:13 pm. In such a situation, Diwali will be celebrated on October 31 itself.
