+10 February 2009
In a press statement on public holidays for 2009 released on 21 February
2008, the Ministry of Manpower announced that Deepavali would fall on 15
November 2009 (Sunday), subject to confirmation when the Indian Almanac
becomes available.
2. The Deepavali date for 2009 has now been confirmed. The Hindu
Endowments Board (HEB) has advised that Deepavali will fall on
17 October 2009 (Saturday) instead of 15 November 2009
(Sunday). The variation in date was due to the rare occurrence of two
“no moon” days (amavasai) between mid October and mid November 2009. The
earlier tentative Deepavali date of 15 November 2009 was based on the
second “no moon” day. The Almanac has now affirmed that Deepavali will
fall on the day of the first "no moon" day on 17 October 2009.
3. Since Deepavali is no longer on 15 November 2009 (Sunday), 16
November 2009 (Monday) will not be a public holiday. Instead, 17 October
2009 will be gazetted as a public holiday.
