Deepavali

Celebrated on Naraka Chaturdashi in the month of Aippasi (Ashvin–Kartika), Deepavali marks the victory of light over darkness — Krishna's defeat of Narakasura in South Indian tradition.

The day begins with an early oil bath (Ganga snanam) before sunrise, new clothes, sweets, lamps and prayers. AstroG's Panchanga shows the date and the exact Chaturdashi timing for your place.
