Decision after meeting in Jaipur
Due to different opinions of scholars and scholars, Lakshmi Puja will be performed in 11 districts on October 31. Whereas Diwali will be celebrated on November 1 in 16 cities including Ajmer and Bhilwara. At the same time, it has been agreed to celebrate Diwali for 2 days in 5 districts including Jodhpur and Bikaner. The final decision will be taken after the meeting of astrologers in Alwar. On the other hand, there will be a religious meeting on ‘Diwali Decision’ in Jaipur on 15th October. In this religious assembly organized under the aegis of All India Academic Council, eminent scholars and astrologers from all over India will unanimously decide the scripture-based date of Diwali for the year 2081.
Arguments for celebrating Diwali on 1 November (diwali 2024)
Amavasya Tithi, both 31st October and 1st November are in Pradosh Kaal. In such a situation, religious scriptures say that if there is Amavasya for 2 days, celebrating Diwali on the second day would be as per the scriptures.
Amavasya is the date of ancestors. After worshiping ancestors during the day, Lakshmi worship should be done in the evening, this will be according to the scriptures. Worship of ancestors on the next day of Lakshmi Puja is also not according to the scriptures.
