According to Hindu calendar, Deepawali (deepawali (diwali)) falls on the fifteenth day of the darkish fortnight of the auspicious Hindu month of Kartik (October/November).

Lighting the lamp of data inside us means to understand and mirror upon the significant objective of each of the five days of festivities and to carry those ideas in to our day to day lives.
The primary day of Deepawali (diwali)
The first day of Diwali known as Dhanvantari Tryodashi also called Dhan Theras .It is in actual fact the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksh (the darkish forthnight) of the month of Kartik. On this day, Lord Dhanwantari came out of the ocean with Ayurvedic medication (medication which promotes wholesome long life) for mankind. This day marks the start of Deepawali (diwali) celebrations. On at the present time at sunset,Hindus ought to bathe and offer a lighted deeya with Prasad (sweets supplied at worship time) to Yama Raj (the Lord of Dying) and pray for cover from untimely death. This providing needs to be made near a Tulsie tree (the Holy Basil) or some other sacred tree that one might need of their yard. If there isn't a sacred tree, a clean place within the front yard will suffice.
The second day of Deepawali (diwali)
The second day of Deepawali (diwali) is named Narak Chaturdasi. It is the fourteenth lunar day (thithi) of the dark forthnight of the month of Kartik and the eve of Deepawali (diwali). On this present day Lord Krishna destroyed the demon Narakasur and made the world free from fear. On today, we must always massage our bodies with oil to relieve it of tiredness, bathe and relaxation in order that we will rejoice Diwali with vigour and devotion.
On this evening, Yama Deeya should NOT be lit. The Shastras (Legal guidelines of Dharma) declares that Yama Deeya must be offered on Triodasi evening with Prasad.The misperception that Yama Deeya ought to be supplied on the night time before Deepawali (diwali) happened some years ago when the fourteenth lunar day (Chaturdasi) was of a very brief length and brought about Triodasi to increase into the night time before Deepawali (deepawali (diwali)). Some people mistook it to imply that because Yama Deeya was lit on that night, that it should at all times be lit on the evening before Diwali. That is absolutely not true. It's advisable that one consults with a learned Pandit or Hindu Astrologer for proper steerage on this matter.

On today, Goverdhan Pooja is performed. Many 1000's of years ago, Lord Krishna triggered the individuals of Vraja to carry out Goberdhan Pooja. From then on, yearly Hindus worship Goverdhan to honour that first Pooja finished by the individuals of Vraja.It is written within the Ramayan that when the bridge was being built by the Vanar army, Hanuman (a divine loyal servant of Lord Rama possessing enormous power) was bringing a mountain as material to help with the development of the bridge. The decision was on condition that sufficient supplies was already obtained. Hanuman placed the mountain down before He might have reached the construction site. Due to lack of time, He couldn't have returned the mountain to its unique place. The deity presiding over this mountain spoke to Hanuman asking of His purpose for leaving the mountain there. Hanuman replied that the mountain ought to stay there until the age of Dwapar when Lord Rama incarnates as Lord Krishna in the type of man. He, Lord Krishna will shower His grace on the mountain and will instruct that the mountain be worshiped not solely in that age however but in ages to come.
