Diwali according to Mithila Panchang
According to┬аAstrology Prediction,┬аapart from Kashi, the Panchang of Kameshwar Singh Darbhanga Sanskrit University of Mithila also mentions celebrating Diwali on October 31. When Pradosh Kaal is available on two dates, the festival is celebrated on the date of the first Pradosh Kaal.
Confusion of two dates
In our country, the date of the festival is determined by religious scholars based on Surya Siddhanta. According to that, there has never been any confusion. This time also there was no confusion about Diwali. The controversy over this has arisen due to the Panchangs prepared by Drik Ganit. Let us tell you that Drik Ganit is a method of doing astronomical calculations and they follow the calculations of NASA, due to which this doubt arose.
Amavasya is appearing on 31st October at 3:23 pm. Amavasya is all night on this day. On this day, the auspicious time of Taurus and Leo ascendant will be available for Lakshmi Pujan.

Whereas on 1st November, the Pradosh period is of few minutes only because on this day Amavasya will end after sunset, due to which there will be no time for Lakshmi Pujan on Amavasya Tithi.
