The festival of lights is almost here, and with it, the sparkle of diyas, the laughter of families, and markets glowing in gold. But this year, Diwali 2025 has sparked unusual confusion; many are unsure which day marks the actual celebration. The reason lies in the Amavasya Tithi, the lunar phase that determines Diwali’s date, falling across two consecutive days. Advertisement

According to the Hindu calendar, Diwali 2025 will be celebrated on Monday, October 20. The Amavasya Tithi begins at 3:44 PM on October 20 and ends at 5:54 PM on October 21. Since it starts before sunset, October 20 is marked as the main day for Lakshmi Puja.

The most auspicious times for the puja are:

Lakshmi Puja Muhurat: 7:08 PM – 8:18 PM

Pradosh Kaal: 5:46 PM – 8:18 PM

Vrishabha Kaal: 7:08 PM – 9:03 PM
