Diwali is celebrated with great enthusiasm every year in India. This is an important festival of Sanatan Dharma. Diwali falls every year 20 or 21 days after Dussehra. In such a situation, this year it is coming exactly 20 days after Dussehra i.e. on October 20, 2025.

But have you ever wondered why Diwali is celebrated only 20 days after Dussehra every year? Actually, there is a very interesting reason behind this and most people do not know about it. Let us know about this.

Why is Diwali celebrated only 20 days after Dussehra?

Perhaps you too may not know what is the reason behind celebrating Diwali 20 or 21 days after Dussehra. Actually, there is a religious belief behind this, about which Maharishi Valmiki has told in his written Ramayana. According to Valmiki Ramayana, Lord Rama had killed Lanka’s ruler Ravana and handed over the golden Lanka to his younger brother Vibhishana and after this Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya. During this time, it took him 20 days to return to Ayodhya. After this, as soon as Lord Ram arrived, all the residents of Ayodhya city lit lamps to welcome him. From that very day this festival started being celebrated as Diwali and it started falling every year 20 or 21 days after Dussehra.

What does Google Map say about these 20 days?

If we analyze the reason for celebrating Diwali after 20 days, many interesting things come to light and you can check it in many ways. Just as Lord Shri Ram had traveled from Sri Lanka to India, today’s Google Map can easily calculate and tell the traveling distance between the two locations. For this you have to open Google Map of your phone. After this, go to the start point and select Sri Lanka and select Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh as the destination. After searching it, you will see that the total distance between them is 3127 km. Then as soon as you click on the walking distance icon, you will see that the total time will show 491 hours i.e. 20 and a half days. For this reason, Diwali is sometimes celebrated 20 days after Dussehra and sometimes 21 days.

Samajwadi Party MP Ziaurrahman Burke from Sambhal seat in Uttar Pradesh has responded to the completion of 100 years of RSS. The SP MP said that there is a difference between RSS’s actions and words. His head says that the temple should not be found under every religious place, but the people below are doing something else.

The SP MP said that some people are trying to divide the country in the name of religion by speaking the language of hatred, who want to divide the country should be boycotted. We see a difference between the actions and words of the RSS. While his chiefs say that Shivling should not be found under every mosque, some of his people are constantly making the same issue.

Difference between RSS words and actions

Burke said that these are also people of RSS. This means that he is not obeying his chief. This makes it feel that there is no discipline in the RSS. Or is it that there is a difference between their actions and words that they are saying something and people below them are doing something else.

If the RSS is an institution and the BJP is its branch, then do the work that would make the country progress and remember that they worked for the country and not to divide the country

‘Burn Ravana of your heart’

During this time, the SP MP also spoke about Dussehra and said that every year we celebrate Dussehra by burning Ravana, they will have to burn Ravana not only Ravana but also with hearts. The mindset of a few people is different. If he walks on the true path, if he really has a sense of patriotism. If we are loyal to society and religion, then we will respect all religions.

Working for all religion is true patriotism. People who have a wrong mindset will have to come on the right path, true patriotism and loyalty to religion is only when humans reduce all religion. Our religion gives the message that if the neighbor is of any religion, if we are sleeping hungry and we are sleeping in peace then we cannot be true Muslims.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said, ‘This is an attempt to create a communal atmosphere inside the country. Creating such a communal atmosphere is their livelihood. I am not talking about respect as all religions, but the kind of poison being spread is not right for Maharashtra and the country.

At the same time, the Congress took a strong stand and said, ‘Organizations associated with BJP can go to any extent to gain power or maintain. Their purpose is to share the country more and do politics in the name of religion. Maharashtra’s strength has always been unity in diversity, it should not be weakened.
