What is Diwali?
Diwali, the festival of lights, celebrates Rama's return to Ayodhya and is the night of Lakshmi Puja. Homes are cleaned and lit with diyas, and families worship Lakshmi and Ganesha in the evening.
How the date is decided
It is the Amavasya of Kartika (Ashwin in the amanta calendar) at pradosh, the evening. When Amavasya touches both evenings, Dharma Sindhu's rule decides. The Lakshmi Puja time is the part of pradosh in Amavasya while Vrishabha, a fixed sign, is rising.
