The main Diwali celebration, also known as Ganesh-Lakshmi Puja, will take place on Monday, October 20. <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Diwali, one of the most celebrated and spiritually significant festivals in the country, is set to begin in just a few days. Known as the \u2018Festival of Lights\u2019, Diwali marks the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. It is also the most important day for the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity.<\/p>\n

The 5-day-long celebration begins with Dhanteras<\/em> and culminates with Bhai Dooj<\/em>, each day carrying its own traditional and spiritual importance. From the sparkle of diyas to the fragrance of sweets, the air of festivity fills homes across the nation. Here is a look at the Diwali calendar for 2025 and the significance of each day.<\/p>\n

Dhanteras \u2013 October 18 (Saturday)<\/h2>\n

The festivities will commence with Dhanteras, observed on the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of Kartik month. Dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari, the deity of Ayurveda, and Lord Kuber, the god of wealth, the day is considered highly auspicious for purchasing gold, silver, utensils, and new household items. Devotees believe that such purchases bring prosperity and good fortune throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Choti Diwali\/Narak Chaturdashi \u2013 October 19 (Sunday)<\/h2>\n

The second day of Diwali, known as Choti Diwali or Narak Chaturdashi, will be celebrated on Sunday, October 19. On this day, Lord Krishna and Lord Yama are worshipped. Tradition calls for lighting lamps across the home, including one in the southern direction for Yama, the god of death. The day commemorates Lord Krishna\u2019s victory over the demon Narakasura, symbolising the end of darkness and ignorance.<\/p>\n

Diwali\/Ganesh-Lakshmi Puja \u2013 October 20 (Monday)<\/h2>\n

The main Diwali celebration, also known as Ganesh-Lakshmi Puja, will take place on Monday, October 20. Falling on the new moon day (Amavasya<\/em>) of Kartik month, it is the most important day of the festival. Families decorate their homes with lamps and rangoli, perform Lakshmi Puja in the evening, and seek blessings from Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Kuber for wealth, wisdom, and happiness. Lighting diyas<\/em> on this dark night is believed to dispel ignorance and usher in spiritual light.<\/p>\n

Govardhan Puja \u2013 October 22 (Wednesday)<\/h2>\n

The fourth day, Govardhan Puja, also known as Annakut<\/em>, will be observed on Wednesday, October 22. The day commemorates Lord Krishna\u2019s act of lifting the Govardhan mountain to protect the people of Braj from torrential rains sent by Lord Indra. Devotees prepare a variety of food items as offerings, symbolising gratitude and humility. Small Govardhan structures made of cow dung are also worshipped in many households.<\/p>\n

Bhai Dooj \u2013 October 23 (Thursday)<\/h2>\n

The festival concludes with Bhai Dooj on Thursday, October 23, a day celebrating the bond between brothers and sisters. Sisters apply tilak on their brothers\u2019 foreheads, perform aarti<\/em>, and pray for their long life and prosperity. In return, brothers offer gifts as a token of affection and protection. Bhai Dooj stands as a beautiful reminder of familial love and harmony.<\/p>\n
