Diwali can also be celebrated on November 1
Diwali on November 1: The festival of lights, Diwali, is celebrated with great pomp across the country. On this day, Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Ganpati Bappa are worshiped. This time there was a lot of confusion regarding Diwali due to Amavasya Tithi falling for two days. According to some astrologers, it is correct to celebrate Diwali on October 31, because the night of the new moon is on October 31. While some astrologer scholars insist on celebrating Diwali on November 1 while claiming it through Panchang.
After Kashi scholars and religious leaders, Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaramand also advised to celebrate Diwali on October 31 because October 31 is Ratrivyapini Amavasya which is not November 1. However, due to Udayvyapini Amavasya, the festival of Diwali can also be celebrated on November 1. In such a situation, this time due to the two days of Amavasya, the five-day festival of lights has become six days.
