Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) 2027: The Computed Date, Tithi and Muhurat
Diwali 2027 is on Friday, 29 October. The Kartik Amavasya tithi begins at 8:48 PM IST on 28 October — after pradosh kaal on the 28th has already passed. That is what places Lakshmi Puja on the 29th: the puja is timed to Amavasya falling within pradosh, not to the calendar date the tithi happens to start on.
Quick answer: Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) 2027 is on Friday, 29 October 2027. Computed tithi window 28-10-2027 20:49–29-10-2027 19:07 IST, pradosh (just after sunset) rule.
Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) 2027 falls on Friday, 29 October 2027. The governing tithi — Kartika Amavasya, the night of Lakshmi — runs from 28-10-2027 20:49 IST to 29-10-2027 19:07 IST, computed from the ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the way a Panchang actually derives it. The observance follows pradosh (just after sunset).
Delhi sunset (pradosh begins): 17:40 IST.
How this date is fixed
Hindu observances are fixed by the panchang, not by the Gregorian calendar — which is why the date moves each year and can differ abroad.

| Why the date moves | A tithi is a precise instant; which local date it falls on depends on your time zone |
| Abroad | Use your own city's panchang, not the Indian date |
How the day is kept
Lakshmi Puja is kept in the pradosh span while Amavasya prevails — the computed window below is the heart of the evening — with deepdaan, and the days of Dhanteras to Bhai Dooj around it.
Why the tithi window matters more than the date
A Hindu festival is not a civil date; it is a tithi caught at a particular quality of time — pradosh (just after sunset) here. When the tithi straddles two days, the rule decides the day, which is why two neighbouring calendars sometimes disagree while both cite the same sky. The window printed above is the actual astronomy; the rule applied to it is the tradition. Together they give you the answer the forwards never explain. For the method itself, see our muhurat & festivals guide.

When is Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) in 2027?
Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) 2027 falls on Friday, 29 October 2027. The Amavasya runs 28-10-2027 20:49 to 29-10-2027 19:07 IST, and the observance follows pradosh (just after sunset).

The tithi begins 28-10-2027 20:49 IST and ends 29-10-2027 19:07 IST (computed, Lahiri ayanamsa). Local windows shift by some minutes city to city.
Why must Lakshmi Puja fall in the pradosh window?
The shastra ties the puja to Amavasya prevailing at pradosh — the span just after sunset. That is why the date alone is not enough; the tithi's computed hold on the evening is what fixes the muhurat.
Should I fix an important beginning on Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) 2027?
A festival is auspicious in itself, but a dated personal beginning — a purchase, a launch, a ceremony — is best matched to your own chart and the day's full Panchang. That is a ten-minute check in a consultation.
