Diwali 2025 Tithi
According to the calendar, Diwali is celebrated every year on the Amavasya date of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. This time the date of Kartik Amavasya will start on October 20 at 3:44 pm and the date will end on October 21 at 5:54 pm.
20th October or 21st October, when will Diwali be celebrated?
This time there is a debate going on among many big astrologers and pundits regarding the date of Diwali. Out of which, according to Astrologer Raj Mishra, this year Diwali should be celebrated on 21st October. Because, this time Amavasya Tithi will start from 20th October and will last for more than three hours on 21st October. For this reason, it will be auspicious to worship Lakshmi on 21st October.
At the same time, according to Astrologer Pandit Rajkumar Shastri, Pradosh Vyapini Amavasya will start on October 20, which will start at 3.44 pm. If Pratipada Tithi starts in the evening then the five-day festival of Diwali should not be celebrated during that time. That means Diwali has no importance in Pratipada. Therefore, if you worship Diwali on 21st October at 5:55 pm, then defects may arise in it. For this reason, it will be auspicious to celebrate Diwali on 20th October only.
This is the reason to celebrate Diwali on 20th October
According to Astrologer Pawan Sinha, Diwali can be celebrated on October 21 in those cities where sunset will occur before 5:30 pm. But, in cities where sunset occurs after 5:30 pm, it would be appropriate to celebrate Diwali on 20th October only. Also, we are getting Pradosh Kaal Vyapini Tithi on 20th October only. Therefore, it is considered appropriate to celebrate Diwali across the country on 20th October. On this day, Pradosh Kaal will last from 5:46 pm to 8:18 pm.
According to Pandit Raman Trivedi, chief priest of Mahakal temple, it would be appropriate to celebrate Diwali on 20th October only. Because, there are very good chances of worshiping Goddess Lakshmi on the night of 20th. But, on 21st, that yoga is not being formed in which Goddess Lakshmi can be worshipped. On 20th October, worship of Mahalakshmi and all the work related to Diwali will be done.
Swami Jintendranand Saraswati said this regarding Diwali date
According to Swami Jintendranand Saraswati, celebrate Diwali by looking at the almanac, the time of Pradosh Kaal and as per the advice of the pundits around you. According to the English calendar, do not celebrate the festival of Diwali immediately. Therefore, if seen according to Pradosh Kaal, then this time it would be right to celebrate Diwali on 20th October only.
That is, according to most pundits, it would be more auspicious to celebrate Diwali on 20th October.

The most auspicious time for worshiping Lakshmi-Ganesh on Diwali will be from 7:08 pm to 8:18 pm. This period is said to be the combination of Pradosh Kaal and Sthira Lagna, which is considered best for receiving the blessings of Mother Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha. This means that people will get about 1 hour 11 minutes time for worship.
