2nd October 2025: In which other year were Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra on the same date

This year presents a rare alignment as Gandhi Jayanti and Dussehra coincide on October 2nd, a phenomenon last seen in 2006. While Gandhi Jayanti consistently falls on this date, Dussehra’s timing varies with the Hindu lunisolar calendar. This variance arises from the lunar-based Hindu calendar’s difference from the solar-based Gregorian calendar, necessitating adjustments like ‘Adhik Maas’ to maintain seasonal alignment.
