This year, Diwali falls on the Amavasya (new moon) of Krishna Paksha and there is ongoing debate over the exact day for the celebration. The Amavasya tithe begins on October 31 at 3:52 p.m. and ends on November 1 at 6:16 p.m. This overlap has led to divided opinions: some experts suggest October 31st, while others favor November 1st to comply with traditional customs.

Amavasya begins on October 31, 2024 at 3:52 pm and Pradosh Kaal will take place that evening. Traditionally, when Amavasya and Pradosh Kaal coincide, it is considered an appropriate time for Lakshmi Puja, which is why October 31 is a viable option. Some spiritual leaders support this, emphasizing the festival’s symbolic representation of light conquering darkness.

On the other hand, Vedic traditions place emphasis on Udaya Tithi, the Tithi active at sunrise, which is significant for auspicious events. Since Amavasya extends beyond sunrise on November 1, 2024 and ends at 6:16 p.m., many believe that November 1 is a more spiritually significant day for Diwali.

Drik Panchang recommends celebrating Diwali on November 1, 2024. Performing Lakshmi Puja on November 1 during Pradosh Kaal and Vrishabha Kaal ensures that the rituals are aligned with the most favorable astrological conditions.
