October 20, 2025 Sheetal

As the vibrant celebration of Diwali approaches, people across India and the world gear up for the grand festival of light, joy and togetherness. In 2025, Diwali falls on 20 October, with the Amavasya tithi beginning at around 3:44 pm on 20 October and lasting till the evening of 21 October.
At its core, Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.

The Spirit & Rituals of Diwali

Homes are cleaned, illuminated with diyas (earthen lamps) and decorative lights, rangoli designs embellish doorways and courtyards, and families come together to perform Lakshmi-Puja, exchange sweets and gifts, and renew bonds of love and goodwill.
It is also a moment for introspection — offering gratitude, forgiving old grievances and stepping into a new year with renewed hope.

Why Share Wishes & Greetings?

In today’s digital age, Diwali isn’t just about in-person celebrations; it’s also about spreading joy through mobile messages, WhatsApp statuses, Instagram posts and Facebook greetings. A thoughtful Diwali wish can strengthen relationships, uplift spirits and make someone’s day brighter.
With many people unable to meet physically, sharing festive messages has become a meaningful way to connect.
