It's that celebratory time of the year when homes are decked up with a dash of vibrant colours, the night sky dazzles with eye-popping fireworks and twinkling lights and the delectable aroma of food takes over the atmosphere. Yes, we are talking about India's biggest and most widely celebrated Festival of Lights, Diwali. Sikhs and Jains also observe the Hindu celebration. The five-day Deepavali festivities commence with Dhanteras and end with Bhai Dooj, as per the dates determined by the position of the Moon. Diwali 2022 will be celebrated with a whole lot of fanfare and pomp on Monday, 24 October. It is an official public holiday in many parts of India.

For those who don't know why people call a Dry Day a party spoiler, here's the reason — Dry Days mostly fall during an auspicious festival, election day or national holidays. The state governments mostly decide the dates. As Deepavali is a holy occasion and one of the most popular festivals in Hinduism, the sale of alcohol in pubs, hotels, restaurants, bars, liquor shops, malls, and cafes will be strictly prohibited. And hence, no one wants to plan a huge party only to end up disappointed because of a dry day. Given below is the list of all the Dry Days falling in 2022, along with state-specific data. Latest Diwali 2022 Mehndi Designs: Beautiful Henna & Bharwa Mehndi Patterns for Front and Back Hands To Apply for Shubh Deepawali Celebrations (Watch Videos).
