Diwali Countdown Timer

Diwali, also called Deepavali, is the Festival of Lights. Families and communities mark it with lamps, gatherings, sweets and prayers in different ways. Its date changes each year in the Hindu lunisolar calendar.

This countdown follows the listed Indian Diwali date and ends when that calendar day begins in your local time zone. Many celebrations and Lakshmi Puja take place later, often after sunset. Regional calendars and traditions can differ, so check your local panchang for the date and time of a specific observance.
