Shedding Light On Deepavali…Diwali

In the triumph of good over evil, Deepavali and Diwali are on the same path. But there are differences between the two.

Deepavali, also known as the festival of lights is a Hindu celebration that will be celebrated on Tuesday.

‘Deepavali’ is associated with South India, while the North Indians call it ‘Diwali’. For South Indians, Deepavali falls on Ashvina Krishna Chaturdasi, the lunar day before the new moon. For the North Indians, it falls on Ashvina Amavasya the lunar day of the new moon.

In Singapore, both the North and the South Indians celebrate the festival of light on the same day.
