Diwali 2027 date and Amavasya tithi
Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) 2027: Friday, 29 October 2027
Diwali falls on Kartik Amavasya. In 2027 Amavasya tithi begins at 8:47 PM on 28 October and ends at 7:05 PM on 29 October (New Delhi). On the 28th Amavasya begins only after Pradosh Kaal has ended; on the 29th it prevails at the start of Pradosh Kaal, so Lakshmi Puja is on Friday, 29 October. If you searched “diwali 2027 kab hai”: it is Friday, 29 October.
Lakshmi Puja muhurat 2027 (Pradosh Kaal, Sthir Lagna)
| Window (New Delhi, 29 Oct) | Time (IST) |
|---|---|
| Lakshmi Puja muhurat (Pradosh + Vrishabha lagna, within Amavasya) | 6:34 PM – 7:05 PM |
| Pradosh Kaal | 5:39 PM – 8:13 PM |
| Vrishabha Kaal (sthir lagna) | 6:34 PM – 8:30 PM |
| Amavasya ends | 7:05 PM |
The muhurat is short this year because Amavasya ends at 7:05 PM. Mahanishita Kaal (11:39 PM – 12:31 AM) and Simha lagna (1:05 AM – 3:22 AM) fall after Amavasya has ended, so Drik Panchang gives no Nishita muhurat for 2027.
