Telangana Govt Shifts Diwali Holiday From Oct 25 To Oct 24

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Government announced to shift Diwali Holidays, from the 25th of October, to the 24th of October.

According to sources, on the 20th of October, the K. Chandrashekar Rao led State Government issued an official notification in this regard.

Meanwhile, the order states that the holiday has been changed from 25th to 24th as the priests decided to celebrate Diwali on 24th. It has been clarified that the same thing is included in Panchangas also.

Generally, it is customary to celebrate the Diwali festival on the new moon day of Ashwayuja month. As Amavasya is on the 25th in the calendars, the festival is believed to be on the same day. But, the priests make it clear that Diwali falls on the 24th, not the 25th.

The priests stated that Diwali should be held on the same day as the evening of the 24th is considered Amavasya. It is said that Dhana Lakshmi Puja should also be performed on the same day.
