Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, is a time of peak joy and happiness. If you want to express that spirit in your home, the best way to do so is through the colors of your zodiac sign. Certain auspicious colors correspond to each zodiac sign, helping to highlight astrological energies, and also act as mixers, using the richness of the colors to spread good vibrations and balance your aura. This Diwali, we reached out to astrologer Saloni Chaudhary to know which colors to wear for each zodiac sign.
He also explained the misunderstandings about the Diwali dates. She said Diwali is celebrated every year on Amavasya in the month of Kartik. This year’s Amavasya festival falls on both October 31st and November 1st, causing anxiety among devotees.
While Amavasya technically lasts until November 1st, Diwali is celebrated on October 31st. It is stated that Amavasya Tithi will begin at 3:12 pm on October 31st and end at 5:14 pm on November 1st, after which Pratipada Tithi will begin. Since Diwali is traditionally celebrated on the night of Amavasya, the festivities are held until midnight during Pradosh Kaal (evening) on October 31st.
