The festival of light, Diwali, is among the most popular festivals around the world and especially in India. Diwali historically celebrates the return of Rama, Lakshman and Sita after their exile of fourteen years. This is also the day of worshipping Goddess Lakshmi and thus Deepavali celebrates this Goddess of wealth. The word Diwali or Deepavali can be segregated as ‘deep’ or ‘lamp’ and ‘avali’ or ‘series’. This celebration takes place on the amavasya or new moon night in the Hindu lunar month of Kartik. Thus, if you are wondering when is Diwali in 2016 then we would like to tell you that it falls on the 30th of October which is a Sunday.
