Diwali Invitation Wording — दीवाली निमंत्रण for Lakshmi Puja, Party & Muhurat Puja (Copy & Paste)

A Diwali invitation (दीपावली निमंत्रण / दीवाली निमंत्रण) does a different job from a Diwali wish: it asks someone to actually come — to the Lakshmi Puja at home, the office party, the Annakut at the temple, or the Muhurat Puja at the shop. Below is ready-to-send Diwali invitation wording and greeting messages in Hindi (Devanagari) and English, each with the details guests look for — day, puja time, venue — so you can copy, fill the brackets, and send. Any sample below becomes a free personalized card + video invitation on Ayozan — each guest gets their own name, in their own language.

On Ayozan you type the invitation once — in English or Hindi — and every guest receives it with their own name: Devanagari for the family elders, English for colleagues, with a personal RSVP link for the dinner headcount.

Diwali 2026: the dates to put on your card

2026 has an Adhik Maas — an extra lunar month — so the whole festival week lands later than usual, in November:

• Dhanteras — Friday, 6 November 2026
• Diwali / Lakshmi Puja — Sunday, 8 November 2026
• Govardhan Puja (Annakut) — Monday, 9 November 2026
• Bhai Dooj — Tuesday, 10 November 2026

Lakshmi Puja muhurat timings vary by city — confirm the exact evening muhurat with your local panchang before printing it on the card.

What makes a Diwali invitation look like Diwali

If you are choosing the design and not just the words: guests read a card as “Diwali” from the warm glow of diyas, a rangoli at the base, genda (marigold) torans across the top, the kalash with शुभ–लाभ on either side, and a deep maroon-and-gold palette. Ayozan’s Diwali greeting cards are built around exactly these motifs, and the Hindi invitation cards set your Devanagari text in proper type — no broken matras, no substituted fonts.

How to use these in Ayozan

• Pick a design from Diwali greeting cards or Hindi invitation cards and paste any wording from this page.
• Type in English and Ayozan transliterates into Devanagari — “shubh deepawali” becomes शुभ दीपावली, no Hindi keyboard needed.
• Upload your guest or customer list and every person gets the card with their own name, in their own language, plus a unique RSVP link for the puja-dinner headcount.
• Turn the same card into a personalized WhatsApp video invitation, or download a print-ready PDF free — for the society notice board or the shop counter.
