In a statement, the government has also clarified that on 30 October, October 31 and November 1, apart from half a day, there are holidays.
Due to confusion due to reports, there was an explanation that no holidays can be mentioned on 31 October and 1 November, which may mean that both were working on both days.
On October 30, school and college will only work till noon.
In Tamil culture, Diwali is often celebrated on Naraka Chaturdashi, which is usually a day before the Northern Indian Diwali. In 2024, Tamil Deepawali will be celebrated on 31 October, 2024.
In Tamil Nadu, the festival is called Deepawali. The day is celebrated to mark the day when Lord Krishna killed the demon Narakasuran on the day of Chakudasi.
On this festival day, people wake up early in the morning, take traditional oil baths and wash their body from hair to foot.
Meanwhile, in North India, Diwali marked the return of Lord Rama with exile after defeating Ravana, an evil demon king who kidnapped his wife Sita.
Apart from this, on this day, Goddess Lakshmi is worshiped with great devotion. It is often said that she makes her worldly appearance on this day and provides health and success to her devotees.
