**New Delhi, October 24, 2024:** As Diwali approaches, Hindus across the globe are gearing up for the festival of lights. To ensure a prosperous and auspicious Diwali, many consult the Panchang, a Hindu calendar that details auspicious timings for various activities.
According to the Panchang, Diwali, which falls on October 31st, 2024, will be observed during the Amavasya (new moon) tithi, which begins after 3:52 PM on October 30th. The moon will be in Virgo until 11:13 AM on October 31st, after which it will transition into Libra.
The auspicious Abhijit Muhurta, ideal for starting new ventures, will be between 11:45 AM and 12:30 PM on October 31st. However, the Rahu Kaal, an inauspicious time, falls between 1:26 PM and 2:48 PM, so it is advised to avoid starting anything important during this period.
For those planning travel on Thursday, October 31st, it is considered inauspicious to travel in the south direction. However, those who need to travel can consume a pinch of cumin and depart during a favorable Choghadiya Muhurta.
The Panchang provides insights into the celestial alignments and their influence on various activities. Consulting the Panchang can help individuals choose the most auspicious times for Diwali celebrations, pujas, and other important events.
