Deepavali should be on November 11
Dear Editor,
Please permit me space to make my pronouncement on the discrepancy concerning the date for Deepavali (Diwali) 2015, which is gazetted for the 10th of November 2015. From an objective stand point my pronouncement is meant to shed the perpetual light of Maha Lakshmi(Goddess of prosperity)on this particular issue. Deepavali is celebrated on the dark night/New Moon (Amaavasya) in the eight Hindu calendar month Kaartik(mid October-November) and according to the coordinated universal time(UTC)the date and time for New Moon in the month of Kaartik will be on the 11th of November 2015 at 13:47pm,therefore,the festival of lights(Deepavali) should be observed on the 11th of November 2015.
