Countdown to Diwali
Sunday, November 8, 2026About the countdown to Diwali
Diwali's date is set by the Hindu lunisolar calendar and usually lands between mid October and mid November, which is why the countdown uses published festival dates rather than a fixed rule.
The festival is celebrated over several days with lights, sweets and gatherings.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. When Diwali arrives, the page quietly moves its target to the following year so the countdown never runs out of road.
