Diwali Jaipur

Jaipur, India
27 October 2027 – 31 October 2027

Arrive before Jaipur reaches its brightest nights so the celebration can be experienced as a five-day sequence rather than a single evening. Use October 27 to settle into the Pink City and understand the market districts before Narak Chaturdashi on October 28. Keep October 29 centered on Lakshmi Puja and the illuminated bazaars, allowing generous walking time because traffic controls and dense crowds can make short journeys slow. October 30 brings Govardhan Puja, while Bhai Dooj on October 31 closes the festival period at a more intimate rhythm. Treat temples and household rituals as living observances, not performances staged for visitors.
