Confusion over Diwali cleared
In the order issued by the government, it has been made clear that this year the festival of Diwali will be celebrated on 31 October and all government offices will remain closed on this day.

The government has not yet declared a holiday for 1 November. There is no clarity yet on whether government offices will remain open or closed on 1 November.
When will Diwali be celebrated
This time the festival of Diwali was falling for two days. This is because this time Amavasya Tithi is falling for two days – on 31 October and 1 November. Because of this people were confused about when Diwali will be celebrated. As per the rules, Diwali is celebrated on the night of Amavasya. This time Amavasya is starting from 2:40 pm on 31 October and will remain till the afternoon of 1 November. But, there will be no Amavasya on the night of 1 November. Therefore, the festival of Diwali will be celebrated on 31 October.
