Diwali, also known as Deepawali, is one of the major Hindu festivals, celebrated with great grandeur and enthusiasm across India. The festival marks the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. This year, there is some confusion about the date of Diwali, as the Amavasya Tithi falls over two days, starting on October 20 and ending on October 21, 2025. However, according to the Hindu calendar, Diwali should ideally be celebrated on October 20.
