In a earlier press statement
on public holidays for 2008, the Ministry of Manpower announced that
Deepavali would fall on 28 October 2008 (Tuesday). However, the date
needed to be checked against the Indian Almanacs when they became
available. The actual Deepavali date for 2008 is now known. It will fall
on 27 October 2008 (Monday) instead of 28 October 2008 (Tuesday).
