When Diwali Falls
Five days from Dhanteras (Kartik Krishna Trayodashi) to Bhai Dooj.
The Gregorian date moves each year with the panchanga. Message us and we will confirm this year's date and the muhurat converted to your local time — before you commit to anything.
Why Families Abroad Book This One
Families abroad book Diwali for the house in India that still has parents in it, and business owners book Chopda Pujan for a firm they run from overseas. The Lakshmi Pujan muhurat is short, usually a fixed window on Amavasya evening IST, which for the US falls in the morning — one of the few festival muhurats that suits North American clocks well.
