The five days of Diwali 2026
Diwali 2026 runs five days, from Dhanteras to Bhai Dooj. The main night — Lakshmi Puja — is Sunday, 8 November 2026.
| Day | Date | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Dhanteras | Friday, 6 November 2026 | Gold, utensils and new beginnings — the shopping day |
| Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali) | Saturday, 7 November 2026 | Early diyas, ubtan baths and the first sparklers |
| Lakshmi Puja (Diwali) | Sunday, 8 November 2026 | The main night — puja, diyas everywhere, cards land tonight |
| Govardhan Puja | Monday, 9 November 2026 | Annakut feasts and gratitude for abundance |
| Bhai Dooj | Tuesday, 10 November 2026 | Brothers and sisters — the festival's family finale |
Dates follow the lunar panchang and can shift by a day between regions — when in doubt, your local panchang wins. Cards land best on the evening of Choti Diwali or the morning of the main day.
Three ways to light up a phone
Every card is a shareable link — free to make, free to open.
How the Diwali card maker works
Two minutes for the essentials — about the time it takes one diya to settle.
1 · Pick a template
Playable anime card, classic diyas or full fireworks — open one, no account needed.
2 · Add name & wishes
Their name, your message — Hindi, English ya Hinglish. Add a photo and a music track if you like.
3 · Share on WhatsApp
Send the link anywhere. It plays full-screen in their browser — no app, no download, no sign-up.
Diwali wishes worth stealing
Steal a line for the card's message slot — or send one as a text with your card link. Every wish has a copy button.
The classics the family group actually sends — with transliteration so everyone can read them aloud.
दीयों की रोशनी आपके जीवन के हर अंधेरे को उजाले में बदल दे। शुभ दीपावली!

Who gets a card this Diwali?
One maker, a different card for everyone on the list — the name slot does the heavy lifting.
Family far from home
The NRI cousin, the hostel kid — a lit diya on their screen at puja time beats any forward.
The friends group
One card each, names on every one — two minutes per friend, bragging rights all week.
Clients & colleagues
A named, animated card in the inbox stands out from the fifty identical corporate GIFs.
Neighbours & society
The people you share the lift and the ladoos with deserve better than a broadcast list.
Dadi, Nani & the elders
Big text, their name in lights, one tap to play — no app for anyone to learn.
The party guest list
Hosting a Diwali party or card night? Send the card as the invite with time and address.
Why this beats the forwarded laddoo GIF
Diyas they light themselves
The anime Diwali card is playable — the receiver taps each diya to light it, charges the rocket and gets a fireworks finale with your wishes. A card and a tiny game in one link.
Their name in the lights
Add the receiver's name and a photo, and the finale fireworks burst around them. One template, a different card for every person on your list.
Hindi, English ya Hinglish
Write your wishes in any script. This page has ready-made lines in all three, each with a copy button — steal one, or remix it.
One link, no app
Share on WhatsApp, Instagram or email as a simple link. It plays full-screen in any browser on any phone — nothing to install, nobody signs up.
Made in two minutes
Open a template, type the name and your message, pick colours if you like, share. Faster than finding last year's laddoo GIF.
Works for business too
Client and employee greetings with names on every card — and MomentoCard for Business can automate the whole festival list.

Questions, answered
How do I make a Diwali card online for free?
Open a Diwali template on MomentoCard, type the receiver's name and your wishes (Hindi, English or Hinglish), optionally add a photo and music, then share the link on WhatsApp. It takes about two minutes, needs no sign-up, and both making and viewing the card are free.
When is Diwali in 2026?
Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) falls on Sunday, 8 November 2026. The five-day festival runs from Dhanteras on Friday 6 November to Bhai Dooj on Tuesday 10 November 2026. Cards land best on the evening of the 7th or the morning of the main day.
Can I add a name and photo to the Diwali card?
Yes — every template has name and message slots, and the anime Diwali card places the receiver's photo at the centre of its fireworks finale. Type a different name per person and send individual links; each one feels personally made.
What happens inside the animated card?
In the Anime Diwali Blast card, the receiver lands on a rooftop under a glowing moon, taps three chibi diyas to light them (each reveals a wish you wrote), charges a pataka rocket by tapping fast, and gets a full fireworks finale carrying their photo and your message. Other templates play as animated scenes with diyas, rangoli and fireworks.
How do I send a Diwali card on WhatsApp?
After customising, tap Share and send the card's link in any WhatsApp chat. The card opens full-screen in the browser with your music — the receiver needs no app and no account. You can send the same card to many people, or personalise a copy per person.
Can I use it for corporate Diwali greetings?
Yes — Diwali is India's biggest corporate greeting occasion. Put the client's or employee's name on the card, keep the message professional (this page has a Clients & teams wishes tab), and send the link by email or WhatsApp. For large lists, MomentoCard for Business automates festival greetings.
Does the person I send it to need an app?
No. The card plays in any modern browser on any phone, tablet or computer — one tap on the link and the diyas start glowing.
Can I download the Diwali card as a video?
Yes — export the card as a video to post as an Instagram story or reel, or to keep. Sharing the live link stays free; the video export is the premium option.
More occasions, same glow
One diya is already lit — yours
