Diwali
8 November 2026
In Rajasthan Diwali runs five days, from Dhanteras through Roop Chaudas to the night of Lakshmi puja, then Govardhan and Bhai Dooj. The bazaars of the old cities are lit end to end, and every haveli, flat and courtyard puts out its diyas at dusk.
What to buyDussehra
The tenth day after Navratri begins, in September or October
On Dussehra evening tall effigies of Ravan, Kumbhakaran and Meghnad are raised on open grounds across Rajasthan and set alight after dark. Kota's Dussehra mela, by the Chambal, runs over many days and draws visitors from all over the state.
What to buyGovardhan and Annakut
The day after Diwali
The day after Diwali, Rajasthan's homes shape a small Govardhan hill in the courtyard and offer it a puja, and the temples prepare Annakut, a mountain of food for Krishna. The Annakut at the Shrinathji temple in Nathdwara is the best known of all.
What to buyMakar Sankranti
14 January in most years, some years 15 January
Makar Sankranti belongs to the sky over Jaipur. From sunrise every roof in the walled city and the colonies is full of kites, and when the light goes the kites come down and the evening sky fills with lanterns and fireworks from the same rooftops.
What to buyChristmas and New Year
25 December, and the last night of the year
Christmas brings carols and midnight services to the churches of Jaipur and Ajmer, and a week later the city counts down to the new year from rooftops, farmhouse lawns and society gardens.
What to buyFamily occasions
The other days that need crackers
Weddings, temple festivals, housewarmings and birthdays, each with a very different list.
Weddings
Through the saava, the wedding season
A Rajasthani wedding has its own cracker moments: the baraat dancing its way to the bride's house behind the band, the groom touching the toran at the gate, and the vidaai at the end of the night.
What to buyTemple fairs and melas
All year, each temple and town on its own day
Rajasthan's calendar is full of melas. The Pushkar fair at Kartik Purnima, the Khatu Shyam mela in Sikar district, and the Teej and Gangaur processions of Jaipur are the famous ones, and every village temple has its own day besides.
What to buyHousewarming
On your muhurat day
A griha pravesh is timed to a muhurat. The kalash goes in first, the havan is lit, and the new house hears its first celebration with the whole family at the door.
What to buyBirthdays
Any day of the year
A first birthday, a sixtieth, or a big family dinner often ends in the courtyard or on the roof once the cake is cut.
