Diwali 2026: Date, Lakshmi Puja Muhurat, and Where to Actually Celebrate It

Diwali 2026 is Sunday 8 November — not the 7th, not the 9th. Verified dates, Delhi muhurat, city-wise timings, the 5-day calendar, and a Diwali-week Ayodhya plan.

Quick answer: Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday, 8 November. Dhanteras is Friday 6 November, and because Amavasya stretches into the afternoon of 9 November, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj shift to 10 and 11 November — 9 November itself carries no festival.

Complete yatra blueprint

Diwali Week in Ayodhya — 3-Day Blueprint (6–8 November 2026)

🏨 Where to stay

Budget

Clubhouse Hotel Ayodhya

Mid-range, near ghats

Amritara Ramila Kutir

★4.5

₹4,741 / night (Oct 2026 listings)

Ramghat Halt Crossing ke paas — Ram Katha Park, Naya Ghat aur Lata Chowk walking distance. In-house vegetarian restaurant BHOJ.

Comfort / upscale

IRA by Orchid Ayodhya

★4.5

₹4,545 / night (Oct 2026 listings)

Darshan Nagar, Ram Janmabhoomi se 4.2 km — 4.5/5 from 710 Google reviews. Ghat-side hotels full hon to yahi reliable comfort pick hai.

🍽 Where to eat

Chandra Marwadi Bhojanalay

Marwadi thali ₹250–280; Dal Fry Thali ₹120 (Oct 2026)

Must try: Marwadi thali + adjoining Chandra Sweets se khurchan pedas

Ram Path, 1948 se chal raha old city ka classic vegetarian kitchen. Satvik chahiye to 'bina pyaz-lasun' bol dena.

Kake Di Hatti Ayodhya

★4.8

₹200–400 for two (indicative)

Must try: Chole bhature + Delhi-style classics, mandir se 100 m

Shri Ram Janmabhoomi ke paas sabse zyada rated eatery (4.8/5) — darshan ke baad sit-down meal ke liye.

  • Mandir darshan 6 ko hi kar lo — 7 ko dopahar se old-city roads band ho jati hain aur mandir area tak pahunchna mushkil ho jata hai.
  • 7 November ka din halka rakho: dopahar ka khana, aaram, phir ghat ki taraf mid-afternoon nikal jao.
Day 2

Deepotsav Main Night — Diyas, Aarti aur Drone Show

Hotel / old city→Naya Ghat / Saryu bridge viewing areas 🚗 E-rickshaw / on foot (roads closed near ghats) 📍 2–5 km from most hotels ⏱ 30–60 min with diversions 💰 ₹50–150 e-rickshaw

🛕 Temples & darshan

Deepotsav main event — 33 lakh diyas · Ram Ki Paidi + Saryu ghats (view from Naya Ghat / Saryu bridge / downstream ghats)

10th Deepotsav ka official target: ~2 km riverfront par 33 lakh mitti ke diye, ~34,000 volunteers ke haath. Lighting window 5:45–7 PM, phir Saryu Maha Aarti, 3D hologram Ramayana projection aur drone show (7:15–8:30 PM).

🕘 7 November: entry gates ~3:30 PM; diya lighting 5:45–7 PM; hologram + drone show 7:15–8:30 PM · 💡 Lit ghats pass-controlled hain (free e-pass uptourism.gov.in se).

Pushpak Arrival + Rajyabhishek (daytime) · Ram Katha Park stage

Dopahar ka ceremony: Pushpak Viman ka symbolic arrival aur Ram ka Rajyabhishek.

🕘 7 November, ~3:30 PM · 💡 Families aur photographers ke liye shaam ki bheed se pehle ka cultural programme.

🏨 Where to stay

Practical

Same hotel as Day 1 — do not check out

N/A

7 November ki raat Ayodhya fully booked rehta hai aur sadkein band — apna room hi fallback hai. Drone show ke baad paidal ya e-rickshaw se wapas.

🍽 Where to eat

Eat before you leave for the ghats

₹150–400 for two

Must try: Early dinner — controlled zone ke andar kuch substantial nahi milta

Main meal 3 PM tak kar lo. Paani aur halke snacks saath rakho; ghat ke food stalls us raat packed aur overpriced hote hain.

  • Is raat ke liye bada camera bag aur heels mat le jao. Halka safar karo, walking shoes pehno, cash aur power bank rakho — bheed me network crawl karta hai.
  • Diye jalne ke turant baad mat niklo — drone show 7:15–8:30 PM raat ka best part hai.
  • Ghat ke paas 'VIP pass' bechne wale touts se mat lo — legitimate access sirf official channels se milta hai.
Day 3

Diwali Day — Ram Mandir Illumination, Lakshmi Puja, Departure

Ayodhya→Home / Lucknow 🚗 Train / flight / road 📍 Lucknow 135 km ⏱ 3 hrs to Lucknow by road 💰 ₹300–1,500 train / ₹3,500–9,000 flight (Oct 2026 benchmarks)

🛕 Temples & darshan

Diwali at Ram Janmabhoomi · Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir

Diwali ke din (8 November) Ram Mandir ke sanctum me diye jalte hain, shaam ko poore sheher me fireworks. Pichhli raat ke spectacle ka shaant, devotional counterpoint.

🕘 Morning darshan slots; fireworks after dark on 8 November · 💡 Shaam ke fireworks ke baad niklo, ya ek raat aur rukkar 9 ko jao — 8 ki trains Ayodhya se packed hoti hain.

Nageshwarnath Temple (optional morning stop) · Theri Bazaar, 500 m from Ram Ki Paidi — tradition says founded by Kush, son of Rama

Ayodhya ke sabse purane Shiva mandiron me se ek — Ram-centric circuit ke baad subah ka shaant stop.

🕘 5 AM–12 PM & 4–9 PM; morning aarti 5–6 AM. Entry free. · 💡 Photography strictly prohibited hai — camera jeb me rakho.

🏨 Where to stay

Logistics

Depart, or one buffer night

N/A

Agar train 8 ko hai to abhi book karo — festival-week trains Ayodhya se hafte pehle full ho jati hain.

🍽 Where to eat

Diwali-day thali in old Ayodhya

₹200–400 for two

Must try: Poori-sabzi breakfast near the temple lanes

Zyadatar temple-lane eateries Diwali par subah jaldi khul jati hain; old city bhookha uthta hai.

  • 8 ka din mandir ke liye hai, ghat ke liye nahi — riverfront us din saaf ho raha hota hai aur bheed ja chuki hoti hai.
  • Prasad subah hi le lo; mandir ke paas ki dukaanon me achha samaan dopahar tak khatam ho jata hai.

Diwali kab hai 2026 me? Seedha jawab: Sunday, 8 November

Diwali 2026 Sunday, 8 November ko hai. Na 7 ko, na 9 ko. Ye confusion har saal kyon failta hai, is saal uski wajah khaas hai — aur wahi is guide ki asli value hai.

Amavasya tithi 8 November subah 11:27 AM se 9 November dopahar 12:31 PM tak chalti hai (Drik Panchang). Lakshmi Puja ko Amavasya ki shaam chahiye, Pradosh Kaal ke andar. Wo shaam sirf 8 November ko milti hai. 9 November ki shaam tak Amavasya khatam ho chuki hoti hai, isliye 9 ko Diwali manana panchang ke hisaab se galat hoga. Aur 7 November ki shaam ko Amavasya abhi lagi hi nahi hoti — us waqt Chaturdashi chal rahi hoti hai.

Ek aur uljhan: Naraka Chaturdashi aur Diwali is saal ek hi din padte hain. Chaturdashi 8 November subah 11:27 AM tak chalti hai, isliye subah ka abhyanga snan (tel-snan, khaas kar South India me) 8 ki subah hota hai, aur shaam ko Lakshmi Puja. Kai websites is split ko samjha nahi pati, isliye aapko "Choti Diwali 7 ya 8?" wale alag-alag jawab dikhte hain. Sach ye hai: Choti Diwali ke rites 7 ki shaam (Kali Chaudas, khaas kar Gujarat me) aur snan 8 ki subah — dono sahi hain, bas alag-alag hisse hain.

Poora 5-day calendar kya hai? (2026 ka calendar thoda tedha hai)

2026 me paanch din ka tyohar chhe calendar dates par phaila hai. Beech me 9 November ek khaali din hai — koi bada tyohar nahi. Isi liye log confuse hote hain.

Date Din Tyohar Kya khaas
6 Nov Friday Dhanteras (Dhantrayodashi) Puja muhurat Delhi me 6:02–7:57 PM; Yama Deepam isi shaam
7 Nov Saturday Kali Chaudas / Choti Diwali (rites) Shaam ke rites; Ayodhya me Deepotsav ki main night
8 Nov Sunday Naraka Chaturdashi snan (subah) + Diwali / Lakshmi Puja (shaam) Snan 5:41–6:38 AM (Delhi); Lakshmi Puja 5:54–7:50 PM
9 Nov Monday Koi bada tyohar nahi Amavasya dopahar 12:31 PM tak; snan-daan ka din
10 Nov Tuesday Govardhan Puja / Annakut Subah muhurat 6:40–8:50 AM; Gujarat me Bestu Varas (New Year, Samvat 2083) bhi isi din
11 Nov Wednesday Bhai Dooj (Yama Dwitiya) Tilak time 1:10–3:20 PM

Govardhan Puja aam taur par Diwali ke agle din hoti hai, lekin is saal Amavasya 9 ki dopahar tak khinch gayi, isliye poora sequence ek din aage sarak gaya. Agar koi aapko "Govardhan Puja 9 November" keh raha hai, wo pichhle saalon ka pattern copy kar raha hai, 2026 ka panchang nahi dekh raha.

Lakshmi Puja ka shubh muhurat kya hai?

Delhi ke liye Drik Panchang ka window saaf hai: 8 November, shaam 5:54 se 7:50 PM — ye Vrishabha Kaal hai, Pradosh Kaal (5:31–8:09 PM) ke andar. Vrishabha ek sthir lagna hai, isliye parampara me is waqt ki puja ko isliye chuna jata hai taaki Lakshmi ghar me tikein.

Delhi ka time poore India par lagu mat karo. Suraj doobne ka time sheher ke hisaab se badalta hai, aur Kolkata ka muhurat Mumbai se ek ghante pehle shuru hota hai:

Sheher Lakshmi Puja muhurat (8 Nov) Pradosh Kaal
New Delhi 5:54–7:50 PM 5:31–8:09 PM
Kolkata 5:20–7:19 PM 4:55–7:29 PM
Patna 5:29–7:26 PM 5:04–7:39 PM
Lucknow 5:43–7:40 PM 5:19–7:55 PM
Jaipur 6:03–8:00 PM 5:39–8:16 PM
Chennai 6:07–8:09 PM 5:40–8:09 PM
Hyderabad 6:08–8:09 PM 5:42–8:13 PM
Bengaluru 6:18–8:20 PM 5:51–8:20 PM
Ahmedabad 6:23–8:21 PM 5:58–8:32 PM
Pune 6:25–8:25 PM 5:59–8:30 PM
Mumbai 6:28–8:28 PM 6:02–8:34 PM

Delhi ka window seedha Drik Panchang se hai; baaki shehron ke time Drik method se calculate kiye gaye hain. Agar aapka sheher list me nahi hai, to apne sheher ka panchang kholo — nazdeeki bade sheher ka time copy mat karo, aadhe ghante ka farak aam hai.

Videsh me rehne walon ke liye: Diwali wahi Sunday, 8 November hai, local time par. Drik Panchang ke hisaab se New York 5:04–6:52 PM, Toronto 5:17–7:03 PM, London 4:35–6:12 PM, Dubai 5:58–7:56 PM, Singapore 7:19–9:13 PM, Sydney 8:04–9:33 PM. India ka time convert karke mat lagao — local table dekho.

Dhanteras par kya khareedna shubh hai? (aur is saal sona kitne ka hai)

Dhanteras ki parampara me sona, chandi ya koi nayi dhatu ki cheez ghar lana shubh mana jata hai. Lekin ye dabav wali parampara nahi hai. Ek chhota chandi ka sikka, ek peetal ka diya, ya ek steel ka bartan — jo aapke ghar me roz kaam aaye — wo bhi poori tarah sahi hai. Koi shastra ye nahi kehta ki sona khareede bina Dhanteras adhoori hai.

Is saal khareedne se pehle ek number jaan lo, kyunki sona 2026 me record oonchai par hai. 29 October 2026 ko check kiya gaya rate: 24-carat sona lagbhag ₹1,44,000–1,44,170 per 10 gram, 22-carat lagbhag ₹1,32,000–1,32,560 per 10 gram, aur chandi lagbhag ₹195 per gram. Rate roz badalta hai, isliye Dhanteras (6 Nov) se ek din pehle phir check kar lo. Jeweller par teen cheezein zaroor verify karo: BIS hallmark logo, purity mark (22K916), aur 6-digit HUID code — BIS Care app se verify hota hai. Bill par making charges aur 3% GST alag-alag likhe hone chahiye.

Dhanteras ki puja Delhi me 6 November, 6:02–7:57 PM hai (Pradosh Kaal 5:32–8:09 PM). Kharidari ke liye Drik Panchang ke shubh windows 6 November ko: subah 10:30–10:40 AM, dopahar 12:02–1:24 PM, shaam 4:07–5:29 PM, aur raat 8:46–10:24 PM. Bheed se bachna hai to dopahar ka window sabse shaant rehta hai — jewellers ki dukaanon me shaam ko line lagti hai.

Diwali week me kahan jaayein? Ayodhya ka woh arc jo dobara nahi milega

Is saal Diwali week ka sabse bada trip ek hi jagah banta hai: Ayodhya, 7 se 8 November. 7 November ki shaam ko Deepotsav ki main night hai — 33 lakh diye, Saryu Maha Aarti, hologram show aur drone show — aur agle din Diwali ki raat Ram Mandir ke diye. Is poore arc ka detail humne apne Ayodhya Deepotsav 2026 guide me diya hai, isliye yahan dobara nahi likh rahe: wahi guide padho, wahi blueprint upar diya hai.

Do cheezein is saal alag hain. Pehli: Deepotsav week me Ayodhya poori tarah full ho jata hai — hotel abhi book karo, Diwali week me rate badh jayenge aur choice khatam ho jayegi. Doosri: 7 November ki shaam ghat zone me sadkein band rehti hain. Ram Ki Paidi ka lit stretch pass-controlled hai; aam public ke liye free views Naya Ghat side aur Saryu bridge se hain — aur imaandari se kahun to bridge se poora lit riverfront ek panorama me dikhta hai, jo shayad behtar view hai.

Agar Ayodhya nahi ho paya to agla bada stop: Varanasi, 24 November ko Dev Deepawali — Diwali ke 15 din baad, jab ghat ek baar phir diye se jagmagate hain. Uska poora plan hamare Dev Deepawali Varanasi 2026 guide me hai. Aur haan, is season ki shuruaat se judne ke liye — Karwa Chauth abhi 29 October ko hi mana hai — hamara Karwa Chauth 2026 guide usi chain ka pehla hissa tha.

Ghar par Lakshmi Puja kaise karein? (chhota, kaam ka checklist)

40-step wali vidhi ki zaroorat nahi. Jo zaroori hai, wo ye hai:

  1. Din me: Ghar saaf karo, darwaze par rangoli aur toran lagao. Diye aur tel pehle se taiyaar rakho.
  2. Shaam ko: Nahakar saaf kapde pehno. Chowki par laal ya peele kapde par Lakshmi aur Ganesha ki tasveer ya murti rakho — Ganesha pehle, phir Lakshmi.
  3. Kalash: Paani, sikka, supari, haldi aur akshata ke saath kalash rakho; aam ke patte aur nariyal upar.
  4. Muhurat shuru hote hi: Ghee ka diya jalao, sankalp lo, pehle kalash, phir Ganesha, phir Lakshmi ki puja karo — kumkum, haldi, phool, aur naivedya (kheer, mithai, phal).
  5. Aarti: Camphor ya ghee ke diye se Lakshmi aarti ("Om Jai Lakshmi Mata") aur Ganesha aarti gao, phir poore ghar me diye jalao — darwaza, khidki, kitchen, tulsi.
  6. Prasad baanto. Ek diya surakshit tareeke se raat bhar jalana kai parivaron ki parampara hai — sirf tab jab wo poori tarah safe jagah ho aur koi use akela na chhode.

Flat me rehte ho ya building me open flame allowed nahi hai? LED diye ghar ke liye aur puja ke waqt ek chhota ghee ka diya — ye compromise har saal hazaron parivar karte hain, aur isme koi kami nahi hai.

Diwali par patakhe: 29 October tak ki sacchi sthiti

Is section me koi purani khabar copy nahi ki gayi hai, kyunki sthiti abhi bhi badal rahi hai. 29 October 2026 tak Delhi-NCR ke liye Diwali 2026 ka koi official sale ya bursting window announce nahi hua hai. Supreme Court ne 30 September 2026 ko blanket ban se inkaar kiya tha, lekin Delhi-NCR ke mamle me us waqt koi specific order nahi diya tha. 12 October ki hearing me koi direction nahi mili, aur 26 October tak ke check ke hisaab se Delhi Government ne bhi koi decision notify nahi kiya tha. Aaj, 29 October ko, Supreme Court me Delhi-NCR pollution aur green crackers par phir hearing scheduled hai.

Iska matlab seedha hai: Diwali se pehle apne sheher ki latest police/administration notification check karo, aur bina licence wale seller se patakhe mat khareedo. Agar permission aati hai to ummeed hai wo sirf certified green crackers, licensed sellers aur fixed time slots tak limited hogi — jaise 2025 me thi. Pichhle saal ke timings par bharosa mat karo.

Baaki states ke rules alag hain, isliye apne state ka notification dekho. Aur ek practical baat jo har saal kaam aati hai: bachchon, buzurgon aur pets ke liye Diwali ki raat sabse mushkil hoti hai — unke liye ek shaant kamra pehle se taiyaar rakho.

Ek line jo aksar chhoot jati hai: wahi raat, doosri paramparayein

Diwali ki raat sirf Lakshmi Puja ki nahi hai. Sikh parampara me isi raat Bandi Chhor Divas manaya jata hai — Guru Hargobind ji ki Gwalior qile se rihaai ki yaad. Jain parampara me isi raat Mahavira ka nirvana mana jata hai. Agar aapke pados me gurdwara ya Jain mandir hai to us raat wahan bhi diye jalte hain — ye jaankari international visitors ke liye khaas kaam ki hai, kyunki Diwali ko aksar sirf ek hi kahani se joda jata hai.

Frequently asked questions

Diwali 2026 kab hai — 7, 8 ya 9 November?

Sunday, 8 November 2026. Amavasya starts at 11:27 AM on 8 November and ends at 12:31 PM on 9 November, so only the evening of the 8th has Amavasya during Pradosh Kaal — that is the evening Lakshmi Puja needs. The 9th has Amavasya in the morning only, which is why nothing is celebrated that evening.

Lakshmi Puja ka shubh muhurat kya hai 2026 me?

Delhi me 8 November ko shaam 5:54 se 7:50 PM tak (Vrishabha Kaal, Pradosh Kaal 5:31–8:09 PM ke andar). Apne sheher ka time alag hoga: Kolkata 5:20–7:19 PM, Mumbai 6:28–8:28 PM, Chennai 6:07–8:09 PM, Bengaluru 6:18–8:20 PM. Delhi ka time poore India par lagu mat karo.

Dhanteras kab hai 2026 me — 6 ya 7 November?

Friday, 6 November 2026. Trayodashi 6 November subah 10:30 AM se 7 November subah 10:47 AM tak hai, lekin Dhanteras ki puja Pradosh Kaal me hoti hai, jo sirf 6 ki shaam ko Trayodashi me padta hai. Delhi me puja muhurat 6:02–7:57 PM hai.

Govardhan Puja 9 November ko kyon nahi hai?

Kyunki Amavasya 9 November dopahar 12:31 PM tak chalti hai, isliye Pratipada (Govardhan Puja ki tithi) ki puja 10 November ko hoti hai. 2026 me paanch din ka tyohar chhe calendar dates par phaila hai — 9 November beech me ek khaali din hai, koi bada tyohar nahi.

South India me Deepavali kab hai 2026 me?

Wahi 8 November. Farak sirf itna hai ki South me Naraka Chaturdashi ka subah ka tel-snan (abhyanga snan) 8 November ki subah hota hai, kyunki Chaturdashi us din subah 11:27 AM tak chalti hai. Shaam ko Lakshmi Puja wahi din hoti hai.

Diwali week me Ayodhya jaana sahi rahega?

Agar bheed aur planning sambhal sakte ho to is saal Ayodhya Diwali ka sabse bada anubhav hai: 7 November ko Deepotsav ki main night aur 8 November ko Diwali. Lekin hotel abhi book karo — Deepotsav week me Ayodhya poori tarah full ho jata hai — aur 7 ki shaam ghat zone me sadak band rehti hai, isliye Naya Ghat ya Saryu bridge se dekhne ka plan banao.
