Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday, November 8. Lakshmi Puja is on this day, and the Muhurat is expected between 6:27 PM and 8:27 PM (exact timing shifts a bit by city).

The full five-day schedule:

Dhanteras: Friday, November 6
Choti Diwali (Naraka Chaturdashi): Saturday, November 7
Diwali / Lakshmi Puja: Sunday, November 8
Govardhan Puja: Monday, November 9
Bhai Dooj: Tuesday, November 10

Do check your local Panchang closer to the date, since puja timings vary slightly from city to city.
