About Diwali

Diwali, also called Deepavali, is widely known as the festival of lights and is observed by Hindu, Jain, Sikh, and Buddhist communities.

The main observance is tied to Kartik Amavasya in the Hindu lunisolar calendar, so the Gregorian date changes each year.

In 2026, the reference observance date on this page is Sunday, 8 November 2026.

Because regional traditions can differ, this countdown uses a fixed deterministic reference date for consistency year to year.

Planning for Diwali

  • Book travel and accommodation early if you are visiting family during peak festive demand.
  • Order gifts, sweets, and festival supplies ahead of final shipping deadlines.
  • Check local community events, temple schedules, and any public holiday closures in your area.
