About this countdown
Diwali follows the Hindu lunisolar calendar, so its date changes every year. The dates here are the main day of Diwali, Lakshmi Puja, as commonly listed for India.
Local calendars can differ by a day depending on the city and how the tithi falls, so check your local panchang for puja timings.
