Before you make plans
Which Diwali date does this page show?
The main date on this page is Diwali's Lakshmi Puja observance. Dhanteras, Narak Chaturdashi, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj are listed separately in the season calendar. Regional Deepavali traditions can centre on a different observance, so confirm your family's practice before making plans.
A sunset check is not the full Lakshmi Puja muhurat
Use the city links for local tithi boundaries and sunset. The moment used to decide the festival date should not be treated as a complete puja window; local muhurat selection can involve additional traditional rules.
Why this date?
Falls on Kartik Krishna Amavasya (new moon in Kartik month). The darkest night of the year is illuminated with lamps, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness, typically in October-November.
For 2029, Samvat resolves the observance to Monday, 5 November 2029, with Krishna Amavasya, Kartik. The public festival calendar uses an India-baseline Panchang; personal observance can vary by location and family tradition.
