Dev Diwali 2026 in Hyderabad
24 November 2026. Every time below is calculated for the city from its own sunrise, sunset and tithi.
Dev Diwali, the Diwali of the gods, is celebrated on Kartik Purnima, above all in Varanasi, where lakhs of diyas are lit on the ghats of the Ganga at dusk. It remembers Shiva’s victory over the demon Tripurasura, and the gods are said to come down to bathe in the Ganga that night.

How the date and muhurat are worked out
Dev Diwali is kept on the evening Purnima covers pradosh, the 144 minutes after sunset, when the lamps are lit. We give pradosh and the part of it inside Purnima, for each city.
Dev Diwali usually falls on the same day as the Kartik Purnima bath, as it does this year. When Purnima ends before the evening of the bathing day, the lamps are lit the evening before, so the two can be a day apart. The time of the Ganga aarti in Varanasi is set by the ghats’ own programme.
