Diwali 2026, the festival of lights, falls on Sunday, 8 November 2026, on Kartik Amavasya. It is the most cherished festival of the Hindu year, celebrating the victory of light over darkness.

Lakshmi Puja

Homes are cleaned, decorated with rangoli and rows of diyas, and the evening Lakshmi-Ganesh Puja is performed during the auspicious muhurat (typically Pradosh and Amavasya, after sunset) to invite prosperity and wellbeing.

The inner light

Diwali marks Rama's return to Ayodhya and, more deeply, the lighting of the inner lamp: knowledge dispelling ignorance, hope dispelling despair.

We light the lamps outside to remember the one we must keep lit within.

For your city's Lakshmi Puja muhurat or a Diwali reading, book a consultation, by phone, WhatsApp or video across Delhi NCR and other cities from Delhi, Mumbai and other cities.

For guidance grounded in authentic Vedic astrology, consult Dr. R.P. Sharma.
