This year, the most auspicious and scripturally accurate time to celebrate Diwali falls on the night of October 20. According to Hindu scriptures and Panchang (Hindu calendar), the key rituals and timing for Lakshmi Puja align perfectly with this date. While some people believe Diwali should be observed on October 21, this is not supported by traditional calculations. Celebrating Diwali on October 20 ensures that all spiritual practices are in accordance with Vedic guidelines, bringing maximum blessings, prosperity, and spiritual significance.
