Amavasya date is the basis of Diwali
Let us tell you that every year Diwali is celebrated on the new moon day of Kartik month. This festival is decided according to the date of Nisha Vyapini (night-wide). This year, Amavasya Tithi started from 3:44 pm on 20th October and continued till 5:54 pm on 21st October. In such a situation, for Lakshmi worship "Pradosh Kaal" It is falling on 20th October, which is considered the most auspicious time.

Pradosh Kaal coming on 20th October
According to the religious text ‘Nirnay Sindhu’, when Amavasya Tithi falls on either of the two days, then the day falling in Pradosh period is considered suitable for Lakshmi worship. This time Pradosh Kaal was coming completely on 20th October. Kashi Vidvat Parishad and other scholars also agreed that Diwali will be celebrated on 20th October only.

Udaya Tithi has no connection with Diwali
Although many people believe in Udaya Tithi, Diwali is the only festival which is based on Nisha Vyapini and Pradosh Vyapini Tithi. In such a situation, Udaya Tithi of 21st October has nothing to do with this festival. For Lakshmi puja, the coincidence of twilight, Pradosh Kaal and Mahanisha puja was taking place on 20th October.

Similar situations in the past and future
Such situation is not new. In 1962 and 2022 also, Amavasya lasted for two days and a similar confusion was created. In the year 2026 also, Amavasya Tithi will remain for two days on 8-9 November, but Diwali will be celebrated only on 8 November, because on that day there will be Pradosh Vyapini Amavasya.

The correct Diwali was on 20th October.
This time, according to the in-depth almanac calculations and the opinion of scholars, the auspicious time of Diwali was on 20th October. Therefore, it was religiously appropriate to celebrate Diwali on the same day. The confusion that arose regarding the date was due to considering date and date as the same.
