Diwali is a significant festival in the Hindu religion that occurs between mid-September and November. It is dedicated to the goddess of wealth and prosperity, Lakshmi. Diwali, or Deepavali, is a five-day festival that falls during the months of Ashwin and Kartika.

We have heard a lot of people asking when is Diwali and TBH, even I was confused earlier. But thanks to the Panchang, I cleared my confusion and now know the right date and shubh mahurat. The confusion was created because Amavasya tithi is falling on two days —October 31 and November 1.

The Vishva Hindu Parishad spokesperson and a member of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, confirmed to India Today TV that Diwali will be celebrated on October 31.

Banks may be closed for as much as four days from October 31 to November 2 on Diwali in some states, as well as on Sunday, November 3
