Why is there confusion regarding the date of Diwali?
Confusion persists regarding the date of Diwali because, according to the calendar, the date of Kartik Amavasya begins on October 20th at 3:44 pm and ends on October 21st at 5:54 pm. In Hinduism, most festivals are celebrated on the Udaya Tithi (the day the sun rises). Therefore, many people believe that October 21st is the date of Diwali.
However, Diwali is a festival that requires worshipping Goddess Lakshmi during the Pradosh period. Diwali should be celebrated when the Pradosh period coincides with Kartik Amavasya. Therefore, Diwali will be celebrated on October 20th.
