Last year: Deepavali 2026 – Sunday 8 November 2026

Deepavali, Ashwayuja Amavasya, is the festival of lamps: Lakshmi puja at pradosha (the first hours after sunset), rows of clay lamps, new clothes and crackers. In the Telugu states the day also carries Kedareshwara Vratam for Siva-Parvati. The amavasya present during pradosha decides the date, which can differ by a day between India and the United States because of the time difference.

Tithi timing

Bahula Amavasya begins 28 October 2027 at 8:48 PM IST and ends 29 October 2027 at 7:06 PM IST.

Timings by city: India, USA, UK, Canada, Australia

Every time is computed for the city's own coordinates and time zone (daylight saving applied); nothing is converted from IST. The last column is the part of the day the rule judges, pradosha (the first fifth of the night after sunset); the date is the day the tithi covers it. It is the window the tradition names for the observance, not a separately chosen muhurtham; we do not print other muhurthams because we have not verified them.

How the date is decided

Ashwayuja amavasya at pradosha; Kedareshwara vratam the same day.

Date by city

Different date in 135 of 215 cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Atlanta, Irving, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Coppell, Fort Worth and 123 more — the tithi is judged against each city's own sunrise and local time (daylight saving included), so the day can shift for cities far from India.
