Diwali, the biggest and holiest festival of Hindu religion, is celebrated every year on the Amavasya Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month with great enthusiasm and devotion. After the completion of the Deepotsav of the year 2026, now devotees and people interested in Panchang calculations are curious to know on which date Diwali will fall in the coming year 2027. According to the Hindu calendar and astronomical calculations, Diwali in the year 2027 will be celebrated on Friday, 29 October 2027. On this day, due to the coincidence of Amavasya Tithi in Pradosh Kaal and Nishita Kaal, Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, will be worshiped with rituals across the country. According to beliefs, on this auspicious date, Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Ram returned to Ayodhya after completing fourteen years of exile, to welcome which the people of Ayodhya celebrated by lighting ghee lamps.
According to religious scriptures, the main worship of Diwali is done on the day when Kartik Amavasya Tithi is present after sunset i.e. during Pradosh Kaal. According to the calculations of the Vedic calendar, the Amavasya Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month in the year 2027 will start on Thursday, 28 October 2027 at 06:42 pm. At the same time, this Amavasya Tithi will end the next day i.e. Friday, 29 October 2027 at 06:14 pm. Since Amavasya will be present on Udaya Tithi along with sunrise on 29th October and the touch of Amavasya is also being received in the initial phase of Pradosh Kaal just after sunset, hence under the rules of religious scriptures, celebrating Diwali festival on 29th October 2027 is considered completely scriptural and auspicious. However, a difference of a few minutes is possible in the duration of Muhurat in different cities of the country (like Lucknow, Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi and Mumbai) according to the local sunset time.
Pradosh Kaal and Sthira Lagna (Vrishabha Lagna) are considered best for worshiping Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Ganesha, Mother Saraswati and Kuber Dev on the night of Diwali. In the evening after sunset on Friday, October 29, 2027 The most auspicious Pradosh Kaal Muhurat of Lakshmi Puja is from 05.38 pm to 06.14 pm. It will last till 2017, in which a very rare combination of Amavasya Tithi and Pradosh Kaal is taking place. During this auspicious time, worshiping Goddess Lakshmi in the worship place, safe and business establishments of the house brings permanent happiness, prosperity and splendor in the house. Apart from this, special worship can also be done during Vrishabha Lagna and Mahanishith period for the devotees and businessmen doing sadhana at night. Offering lotus flower, kheel-batashe, vermilion, cowrie, lump of turmeric and quince to Goddess Lakshmi during the puja is considered extremely fruitful.
Diwali is not a festival of just one day, rather it is a five-day festival starting from Dhanteras and continuing till Bhai Dooj. The dates of all these major festivals in the year 2027 will be as follows:
| name of the festival | Date and wise (2027) | religious significance |

On the day of Diwali, wake up early in the morning and clean the house and tie a garland of mango or Ashoka leaves at the main entrance. At the time of evening puja, spread a red or yellow cloth on a platform facing north or east and make a heap of Akshat (rice) on it and install a new idol of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha. First of all, install the Kalash and invoke Lord Ganesha, because he is worshiped first in any auspicious work. After this, offer Panchamrit, flowers, incense-lamp and naivedya to Goddess Lakshmi and recite Shri Sukta or Lakshmi Chalisa. After the puja is over, light mustard oil and pure desi ghee lamps on both sides of the main door of the house, near the Tulsi square, in the kitchen, on the terrace and in the temple, which removes negative energy from the house and infuses positivity.
