The story Diwali 2024
Diwali is a Hindu festival that is celebrated for the return of Lord Ram after his hiatus. He, along with his brother Lakshman and wife Sita, went to the jungle to obey his parent’s wishes, where they faced many difficulties and lived a simple village life away from any comfort of the family or luxury life. Then, when he returned to his kingdom, Ayodhya, with his wife and brother after 14 years. The whole village celebrated this day as a festival by lighting many Diya’s around their house.
When is Diwali 2024?
This year 2024 Diwali is occurring in two days, 31st October and 1st November, which is why people have many confusions about when they celebrate this festival. According to all the priests and the gurus, Diwali should be celebrated at night; for that this year, it should be celebrated on the 31st. Because on 1st November the auspicious time will end before evening, so we cannot do Diwali puja on that as it should be done in the evening only. That is why this year Diwali is on the 31st October, and people should celebrate on the same date.
