Diwali falls on the one new moon night (Amavasya) between mid-October and mid-November. Diwali is celebrated for five days according to the lunisolar. It begins in late Ashvin (between September and October) and ends in early Kartika (between October and November). The days in Ashvin are in the Krishna Paksha ("dark fortnight") of that month, while the days in Kartik are in its Shukla Paksha ("bright fortnight"). The first day is Dhan Teras. The last day is Yama Dvitiya, which signifies the second day of the light half of Kartika. Each day of Diwali marks one celebration of the six principal stories associated with the festival.
There is no official date for when Diwali starts because it changes every year to coincide with Kartik's new moon's darkest evening. This typically occurs in the middle of October or November.
It takes place on 100/100/-100

According to the website, http://www.deepavali.net/calendar.php. See the Diwali Date Caluculator in the end of the page and type 1948, press calculate and it will appear as October 2. However, Diwali can fall between October 13 and November 15 and it is the wrong month. It is actually November 2 because the date can fall between October 13 and November 15.There is a note for calculating: NOTE: This calculator can be used to calculate the date of Diwali. The actual date of Deepavali might fall 1 day earlier, depending on the year (in accordance with the lunisolar calendar). No guarantees can be given for the accuracy of the data !
