When is Diwali festival is the big question?. These days festivals are coming on two thithis and that is creating all the confusion. Even for Dasara it was the same confusion.

Is Diwali Sunday or Monday is point of the discussion? The Government has given the holiday on Monday. Astrologers are having a field time with the discussions on the decision.

They fighting for authenticity.

Popular astrologer Gargeya said that, according to Bhavishya Purana, Diwali means performing pujas and offering prayers to Goddess Lakshmi Devi. Lakshmi Puja should be performed on Sunday and the same day is treated as Diwali.

But those who perform pujas to their eternal fathers should do the rituals and celebrations on November 13.

Another astrologer said the holy bath should be taken on Amavasya Tithi day and Akasa Deepam should be lit on Diwali day. As per this principle, Diwali should be celebrated on November 13 to eliminate poverty from one’s family, on the day, when they perform Lakshmi Puja.

Some others said Akasa Deepam should be lit on Monday night and the Karthika Masam lamp would be lit on November 14, Tuesday. “Chandrodaya Vyapthi is more important to calculate the Diwali festival than Amavasya Tithi.

Chandrodaya Vyapthi will fall in the early hours of Monday and Diwali should be celebrated on Monday.”The government also declared a Diwali Holiday on November 13. A similar problem arose with regard to the Vijayadasami festival in October this year.
