Diwali is a big festival of Hindu religion, which is celebrated with great pomp across the country. Lakshmi-Ganesh is also worshiped on this day. Along with this, Lord Kuber is also worshipped. But the important question is when will Diwali be celebrated in 2024.

The festival of Diwali is celebrated on the day of Kartik Amavasya. But this year there is more dilemma because in the calendar also Amavasya date is falling on both 31st October and 1st November. In such a situation, people are confused whether Diwali will happen in October or November.

The scholars of Kashi resolved the confusion regarding the date of Diwali. The exact date of Diwali was told on the basis of mathematical values, religious scriptures, scriptures, religion and traditional beliefs.

After discussion among the scholars, the date of 31 October 2024 has been unanimously fixed for celebrating Diwali. The reason for this is that celebrating Diwali is religious only when there is Pradosh Kaal on Amavasya Tithi itself.

There will be Pradosh Kaal for full 2 hours and 24 minutes on 31st October 2024. Along with this, Nishith is also falling. In such a situation, it would be scriptural to celebrate Diwali on 31st October.

Amavasya date will also be on 1st November 2024. But Amavasya Tithi will end before Pradosh Kaal. Therefore, celebrating Diwali on this day would not be scriptural.
