Diwali (Deepavali) falls on Amavasya, the new-moon day. A calendar guide for New Delhi gives Sunday 8 November 2026, with the amavasya tithi running from 12:08 AM to 9:47 PM that day.
The guide describes the festival as the victory of light over darkness and of good over evil. It advises lighting lamps in odd numbers, drawing rangoli at the entrance and holding Lakshmi Puja, for which it lists a New Delhi muhurat of 05:32 PM to 07:28 PM.
