    Diwali 2024: Is the festival of lights on 31st October or 1st November?

    Deepawali, also known as Diwali, is one of the most anticipated and widely celebrated festivals in India and among Hindus around the world. This five-day celebration often referred to as the Festival of Lights, joy, prosperity, and happiness, starts with Dhanteras and ends with Bhai Dooj. Diwali falls on the darkest night of the year in the Hindu month of Kartik, called Kartik Amavasya. People celebrate by lighting their homes and streets with diyas and candles, dressing in new clothes, exchanging gifts, and indulging in delicious traditional food. During Diwali, people hold special pujas to honor Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity. Many devotees are curious about the exact date for Lakshmi Puja, as it can vary based on the lunar calendar. While the majority will celebrate Diwali on October 31, 2024, some cities may observe it on November 1, 2024, since the Amavasya Tithi concludes at 6:16 PM that day. As per the Panchang, the most auspicious day for Lakshmi Puja will be October 31, when the Amavasya Moon is visible. This makes it an ideal time for prayers and rituals. Take a look at the key timings for diwali 2024.
