When Is Deepavali 2025?
In Singapore, Deepavali 2025 is observed on Monday, 20 October 2025 (public holiday). Many families begin celebrations a few days earlier with Dhanteras and Naraka Chaturdashi, followed by Lakshmi Puja on the main day and visits in the days after.
What Does Deepavali Signify?
Also called the Festival of Lights, Deepavali symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Across traditions, homes glow with diyas (oil lamps), entrances bloom with rangoli/kolam, and families exchange sweets, blessings, and thoughtful gifts.
