The exact date of Diwali 2032

Diwali 2032 falls on Monday, November 1, 2032. That is a Monday, a regular working weekday in most countries. It is the 306th day of 2032 and sits in ISO week 45. If you are planning around it, the day of the week matters as much as the date itself, because it decides whether the observance creates a long weekend, a midweek pause, or a day that has to be moved under local substitute-holiday rules.

Because Diwali lands on a Monday, it naturally extends the preceding weekend into a three-day break for anyone whose Saturday and Sunday are already free.

Compared with 2031, when it fell on November 13, Diwali 2032 moves about 11 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar. This drift is normal for a holiday tied to a lunar or lunisolar calendar rather than a fixed civil date.

About Diwali

Diwali, also called Deepavali, is widely known as the Festival of Lights. It is one of the most important Hindu festivals and is also marked by Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhist communities. The main observance is associated with the new moon of the Hindu month Kartika, usually falling in October or November in the Gregorian calendar. Families often clean and decorate homes, light diyas or lamps, share sweets, gather for prayers, and visit relatives. Meanings vary by region and tradition, but common themes include light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and renewal at the turning of the year. This page uses the date already published in timekit's religious holidays calendar, so regional panchang and local observance may differ by a day.

Calendar note: Hand-table for years beyond the local Vikram table; regional panchang and diaspora calendars may differ by one day.
