Diwali 2026: questions families ask
When is Diwali in 2026?
Diwali Lakshmi Puja is on Sunday, 8 November 2026, because Kartik Amavasya runs through that evening’s pradosh kaal (Amavasya runs from 11:27 AM on 8 Nov to 12:31 PM on 9 Nov). The five days run from Dhanteras on Friday 6 November to Bhai Dooj on Wednesday 11 November.
What is the Lakshmi Puja muhurat on Diwali 2026?
In New Delhi it is 5:54 PM to 7:50 PM (Vrishabha kaal), inside pradosh kaal from 5:31 PM to 8:09 PM. Other cities: Mumbai 6:27–8:27 PM, Pune 6:24–8:24 PM, Bengaluru 6:17–8:20 PM, Hyderabad 6:07–8:08 PM and Chennai 6:06–8:09 PM.
When is Dhanteras 2026, and what is the puja time?
Dhanteras is on Friday, 6 November 2026. In New Delhi the puja muhurat is 6:02 PM to 7:57 PM. Trayodashi runs from 10:30 AM on 6 Nov to 10:47 AM on 7 Nov. Dhanteras is also Dhanvantari Jayanti and the evening for Yama Deepam.
Is Chhoti Diwali on 7 or 8 November?
Chaturdashi runs from 10:47 AM on 7 Nov to 11:27 AM on 8 Nov. Kali Chaudas and Hanuman Puja fall on Saturday 7 November. Narak Chaturdashi, with its early-morning abhyang snan, falls on Sunday 8 November, the same day as Lakshmi Puja.
Why is Govardhan Puja on 10 November and not the day after Diwali?
Amavasya continues until 12:31 PM on 9 November, so Pratipada is present at sunrise only on Tuesday 10 November. That is when Govardhan Puja and Annakut are observed. The morning muhurat in New Delhi is 6:40 AM to 8:50 AM.
When is Bhai Dooj 2026?
Bhai Dooj is on Wednesday, 11 November 2026. In New Delhi the afternoon tilak muhurat is 1:10 PM to 3:20 PM, and Dwitiya ends at 3:53 PM.
