Diwali is celebrated on the day when the Guru Hargobind ji reached Amritsar, not the day of liberation. On the arrival of the Guru in Amritsar, the people lit up the whole city with thousands of candles, lights and lamps like they had never done before; there was much celebration and joy.

Bandi Chorh Diwas falls on the night of Amavas in the month of Assu; this is the actual date that Bandi Chorh Diwas is celebrated each year.
