When is diwali in 2025

:
Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is a major Hindu festival celebrated by millions worldwide, including Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists. It marks the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The festival's date varies each year because it is based on the Hindu lunar calendar, specifically falling on the new moon day (Amavasya) of the Kartika month.

For the year 2025, Diwali will be observed on November 1st. This date aligns with the traditional lunar calendar calculations and is confirmed by Jain and Hindu calendars for 2025. Celebrations typically include lighting oil lamps (diyas), performing pujas (prayers), decorating homes with rangoli, and sharing sweets and gifts. The festival lasts several days, but the main day of Diwali is the one when the new moon occurs, which in 2025 is November 1.
