In simple words

Sunday, November 8, 2026 is listed by Drik Panchang as Diwali for Orlando, FL. Its panchang detail is Kartika, Krishna Amavasya. Because lunar observances depend on local tithi and sunrise rules, this event is scoped to Orlando, FL and should not be reused for another city without that city's source check.

Added Jul 2, 2026 from Drik Panchang's 2026 Purnima and Amavasya date pages for Orlando, FL (geoname-id 4167147).
