Diwali 2025 will be celebrated on Monday, October 20, 2025, as per the Hindu panchang. This year, there has been confusion on the internet about the correct date of Diwali 2025 — whether it falls on Monday, October 20 or Tuesday, October 21.

According to the Hindu Panchang, Amavasya Tithi will begin at 3:44 PM on October 20 and conclude at 5:54 PM on October 21, 2025.
