Lakshmi Puja (the main Diwali night) is on Sunday, 8 November 2026. The five festival days run from Dhanteras a couple of days before to Bhai Dooj two days after.

What are the five days of Diwali?

Dhanteras (buying day), Naraka Chaturdashi / Choti Diwali (early diyas), Lakshmi Puja (the main night), Govardhan Puja / Padwa, and Bhai Dooj. Crackers are usually burst across several of these evenings.

What is the Lakshmi-puja muhurat time?

The commonly-published evening window is shown above, but the exact muhurat varies by city and year. Always confirm the precise timing with your local panchang; we sell crackers and don't issue muhurats.

How early should I order crackers for Diwali?

Order well ahead of the first evening. Delivery across India takes a few days depending on your state, and demand peaks close to Diwali. Ordering early means everything is in hand before Dhanteras.
