The video announcement
Watch it arrive.
The suite’s video, as it arrives in the family chat — a sample photo and sample words throughout. In the one you send, your family’s photo and words take their place.
Five days of light, family, and sweets — and everyone you love holding the same brightness for a moment.
Diwali is a festival of five days — Dhanteras, Naraka Chaturdashi, the great night of Diwali and Lakshmi Puja, Govardhan Puja, and Bhai Dooj — kept by Hindu, Jain, Sikh, and some Buddhist families, for reasons that differ by tradition. This pack does not flatten those reasons into one story. It holds the arc every family shares: a greeting that travels, the invitation to gather, a card for the family joining by video, the thank-you after, and a keepsake of this year's lights.
Your family's photos carry the light — nothing here is stock. There is no clip-art diya, no rangoli "texture," no generic decoration in this pack, on purpose. The lamps your family lights, the rangoli your family draws, the sweets your family makes: those are the images of Diwali, and they are yours. The cards are a frame worthy of them — clean, warm, and quiet enough to let your photo be the festival.
The greeting is your family's phrase. "Happy Diwali," "Shubh Deepavali," "Deepavali Nalvazhthukkal," your family's words in your family's language and script — written by you, spelled exactly as your family writes it. Words of prayer and blessing appear only as bracketed fields your family fills or deletes; nothing sacred is pre-printed, and nothing here explains your tradition back to you.
This year's dates: the festival runs Friday, November 6 through Tuesday, November 10, 2026, with the main night of Diwali on Sunday, November 8. The guide lays out the five days — and says plainly that exact observance can shift by region and by your family's own panchang, which outranks our page every time.
Every family shape, at the same table. One parent or two, grandparents at the center, blended families, chosen family, family on a screen from another country — Diwali is one of the great traveling-home festivals of the world, and the far-away card in this pack is built like it: the gathering time written in both time zones, sent ahead, so the people on the screen are part of the night, not an afterthought.
The edit guide also holds one quiet option: a remembrance element for the one who isn't at the table this Diwali, present in the keepsake in your family's own words. Offered there only, never printed by default.

The details sheet
Write it once. Check it here. Never from memory.
Every name and date goes on this sheet first, in letter boxes, with the weekday checked against the date — before a single card is built. Precision is a form of love, so we made it part of the suite.
Questions, answered plainly
Why is there no diya or rangoli artwork in the design?
Because yours are better — and because they are yours. A stock diya is decoration; the lamp your grandmother lights is Diwali. This pack is a frame: clean, warm design that puts your family's own photos at the center, the way the festival actually looks in your home.
Which tradition's Diwali is this?
Yours. Diwali is kept by Hindu, Jain, Sikh, and some Buddhist families, for different reasons, and this pack never picks one story to print. The shared arc — greeting, gathering, gratitude, keepsake — is templated; the meaning, the prayers, and the words are your family's fields to fill.
What are the five days this year?
In 2026: Dhanteras (Fri, Nov 6), Naraka Chaturdashi / Choti Diwali (Sat, Nov 7), Diwali and Lakshmi Puja (Sun, Nov 8), Govardhan Puja (Mon, Nov 9), and Bhai Dooj (Tue, Nov 10). Exact observance can vary by region and family panchang — the guide says so, and your family's calendar outranks ours.
Is "Shubh Deepavali" pre-printed?
No greeting is pre-printed for you to keep, in any script — the sample cards carry sample wording only, every line of it labeled "SAMPLE WORDING — REPLACE WITH YOUR OWN." English, Hindi, Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati, any language your family speaks — the fields hold your words exactly as you write them.
Can family abroad really join in?
That's what the far-away card is for: the gathering time written in both time zones and sent ahead, so family in another country can be on the screen — lamp ready — when the night begins.
