The festival of Diwali is celebrated with great joy and prosperity across the country. This festival of lights lasts for six consecutive days, starting with Dhanteras and ending on Bhai Dooj. On Diwali, people decorate their houses with lamps and colourful lights, and many choose to wear new clothes while worshipping Ganesha and Lakshmi.
Some devotees prefer to wear clothes in colours aligned with their zodiac sign for the occasion. If you’re one of them, here’s the colour that will be auspicious for you this Diwali. Astrologer and Vastu expert Rakesh Chaturvedi from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh also shares the exact date for celebrating Diwali and the lucky colour for each zodiac sign this year.
Diwali 2024 Date
Every year, Diwali is celebrated on the Amavasya Tithi of the Kartik month. According to the astrologer, this year, Amavasya Tithi will begin at 3:12pm on October 31 and will last until 5:53pm on November 1. For the celebration of Diwali, the Pradosh period, rather than Udaya date, is considered important, which is only available on October 31. Therefore, it is best to celebrate Diwali on October 31.
