Diwali 2027 in Germany: date and local timings
Diwali (Deepavali, Lakshmi Puja) 2027 falls on Thursday 28 October 2027 in all 5 Germany cities listed here. In India it is on Friday 29 October 2027 – the date differs because the deciding tithi reaches the local part of the day on another calendar date. The rule: Ashwayuja amavasya at pradosha; Kedareshwara vratam the same day. In Frankfurt the pradosha (the first fifth of the night after sunset) on 28 October 2027 runs 6:09 PM – 8:57 PM local time, and the tithi runs from 28 October 2027 5:18 PM to 29 October 2027 3:36 PM. The table gives the date for each city with the pradosha window and the tithi in local clock time (daylight saving applied), all computed from the NASA/JPL ephemeris for the city's own sunrise and sunset, never converted from IST.
