 Diwali 2020: This Year as Chhoti Diwali And Badi Diwali to be Celebrated on Same Day ?

The festival of light, Diwali is around the corner. Diwali is celebrated with Diyas, rangoli's, lights, and with a lot of enthusiasm and joy. On Diwali, it is believed that Lord Ram returned to his home Ayodhya after defeating Lanka King Ravana. Lord Ram came back home after 14 years of Vanvaas and people welcomed him by lighting Diyas and lamps. However, this year Chhoti Diwali is falling on the same day as Badi Diwali i.e. on November 14. That means one less holiday this year. Narak Chaturdashi or Choti Diwali is usually celebrated a day before Diwali, but this year, it will be a different scenario as it is falling on the same day as Diwali.The auspicious time of Abhyanga Snan on Choti Diwali (Diwali bathing ritual) will be from 5.23 am to 6.43 am. Diwali and other festivities this year got delayed by a month due to malmas. And this is the reason that Amavasya will fall on two days this year. This has put many people in a dilemma that when is Diwali.
