SNPNEWS.IN News Update (Gurmail Kamboj): There is confusion across the country regarding the date of Diwali, the festival of lights and happiness, due to which everyone is seen asking each other when Diwali is. This confusion arises from the interaction of the lunar and solar calendars.
According to astrologers, Deepawali is celebrated on the new moon day (Amavasya) in the Hindu calendar, which falls between 3:44 pm on October 20 in 2025 and 5:54 pm on October 21.
The date of Deepawali celebration in 2025 has been divided between October 20 and 21, because the timings of the lunar calendar (Amavasya) and sunset are different.
