Diwali 2027 in Dammam
Diwali (Deepavali, Lakshmi Puja) 2027 in Dammam (Saudi Arabia) is on Thursday 28 October 2027; in India it is on Friday 29 October 2027, because Dammam's local day reaches the deciding tithi on a different calendar date. The Deepavali tithi (Bahula Amavasya) runs from 28 October 2027 6:18 PM to 29 October 2027 4:36 PM Dammam time. The date is fixed by the tithi at pradosha (the first fifth of the night after sunset), which in Dammam on that day is 5:00 PM – 7:33 PM. Check of the rule: 27 October 2027: pradosha 5:01 PM–7:34 PM, tithi covers 0%; 28 October 2027: pradosha 5:00 PM–7:33 PM, tithi covers 49%; 29 October 2027: pradosha 4:59 PM–7:33 PM, tithi covers 0%.
