Citation-ready answer
Samvat.in lists Diwali 2031 on Friday, 14 November 2031. The India-baseline festival rule resolves the observance to Krishna Amavasya, Kartik, and the relevant observance moment is pradosha, around sunset. This page is intended as a date-and-rule reference: it shows the Gregorian date, Hindu date, calculation type, festival type, and the Panchang logic Samvat uses for the public festival calendar. For this multi-day observance, the schedule section also lists the related days, Hindu dates, and notes for the 2031 festival period. Local practice can still vary by city, sampradaya, family tradition, and the exact sunrise, sunset, moonrise, pradosha, madhyahna, or nishita window required by a festival rule. Users planning a vrata, puja, or ceremony should compare the local Panchang before treating the India-baseline date as a personal muhurat.
