Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, is a major Indian festival celebrated with great zest and zeal.

There is a high demand for silver and gold jewellery during the festive season. Do not miss out on some amazing deals on jewellery and gold coins available on Nek by Jar.
Diwali is observed on the day of the ‘new moon’ celebrated 20 days after the occasion of Dussehra.
It is celebrated to commemorate the return of Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lord Lakshman from Ayodhya after defeating the mighty Ravana.
The festival is celebrated by lighting diyas, and candles, and decorating homes with fairy lights.
People light up their houses with bright lights and decorations to remove the darkness caused by ‘Amavasya’ or the new moon.
However, there’s a lot of confusion regarding the Diwali date in 2024. Do not worry, we come bearing good news with all the necessary details.
Diwali Dates 2024 Date & Timings
This year, Diwali falls on October 31st, 2024. Traditionally, Diwali is celebrated by conducting Lakshmi Puja during the Amavaysa tithi (new moon) which will start at 03:52 PM on October 31 and end at 06:16 PM on November 1.
Due to the Amavasya tithi spanning across two dates, many Indians are confused about the real date of the festival of lights.
However, the Amavasya tithi will continue throughout the night from October 31, 2024, and end before midnight on November 1, 2024. Hence, Diwali will be celebrated on the last day of October.
