Diwali falls on the one new moon night between mid-October and mid-November. This year it is on 26th October 2011. Deepavali is celebrated for five days according to the lunisolar Hindu Calendar.

It begins in late Ashvin (between September and October) and ends in early Kartika (between October and November).

The first day is Dhan Teras. The last day is Yama Dvitiya, which signifies the second day of the light half of Kartika. Each day of Deepavali marks one celebration of the six principal stories associated with the festival.

 

HAPPY DIWALI!! From the management and staff of CaribDirect.
