About This Event

About Diwali

Diwali is a significant religious observance celebrated by millions of people worldwide. It is a time of reflection, prayer, and community, carrying deep spiritual and cultural meaning.
Exact dates may vary depending on the calendar system and local observation. Our countdown is based on astronomical calculations and may differ by ±1 day from officially announced dates.
Did You Know?
  • Fasting is observed in every major world religion. Ramadan, Lent, Yom Kippur, and Buddhist Uposatha days all include periods of abstinence from food as a spiritual practice.
  • The Jewish calendar is lunisolar — it follows the Moon for months but adds a leap month seven times every 19 years to stay aligned with the solar seasons.
  • Many religious holidays follow lunar calendars, which is why their dates shift each year relative to the Gregorian calendar. The Islamic calendar, for example, is about 11 days shorter than the solar year.
  • The calculation of Easter's date involves both solar and lunar cycles, using a formula first standardized at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. It remains one of the most complex calendar computations still in use.
