Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday, 8 November (Lakshmi Puja), with Naraka Chaturdashi — the main bursting day in Tamil Nadu — falling just before it. That gives families and shop owners roughly a month from early October. Here is how to use that time well.
4–5 weeks before: decide your budget and mix
Start with a number, not a product list. Decide how much you want to spend, then split it across categories: sparklers and flower pots for the children, ground chakkars and fancy items for the courtyard, and a few aerial shots for the finale. Our current price list shows every category side by side, which makes this split easy.
3–4 weeks before: send your enquiry
Popular items — especially multi-shot aerials and well-known gift boxes — sell out first. Sending your list early gives the manufacturer time to confirm stock and quote properly. Use the enquiry form or call our sales team from the contact page.
2–3 weeks before: confirm and arrange transport
Crackers travel from Sivakasi by authorised goods transport, not courier. Delivery to most South Indian towns takes a few days, but transport offices get congested in the final fortnight. Confirm your order early enough that you are collecting it, not chasing it.
The final week: storage and safety prep
- Store the boxes in a cool, dry place away from the kitchen and electrical boards.
- Keep two buckets of water and a bucket of sand ready for the day.
- Buy long incense sticks (agarbatti) for lighting — never matches held close to the fuse.
- Read our safety tips with the whole family.
On the day
Check the bursting timings notified for your area for 2026 — they are announced shortly before the festival and differ between states. Burst in open ground, keep children supervised, and clean up the next morning.
