Diwali or Deepavali will fall on November 14, 2020. The five-day festival of Deepavali 2020 begins from November 12 with Govatsa Dwadashi (it is celebrated as Vasu Baras or Bach Baras in Maharashtra and Vagh Baras in Gujarat). However, most states consider Dhanteras as the first day of Diwali, which is then followed by Naraka Chaturdashi or Chhoti Diwali, Lakshmi Pooja on Badi Diwali, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj on next four days. And to ring in the special occasion, there are special greetings.
