How is the date set?
Diwali follows a Hindu lunisolar calendar, so its date moves against the Gregorian calendar. The year table uses the listed India observance dates through 2031 rather than projecting an unsupported later date.
What should I check locally?
Celebrations span more than one day and traditions can select different principal dates. Confirm the date with your local community before booking travel or sending a time-specific invitation.
