Brighten up your Diwali in India with Trident Hotels

Read Time: 2 Minutes

As the days grow shorter and the air gets crisp, it’s time for Diwali, the Indian festival of lights.

Diwali celebrations are a time for coming together with loved ones, sharing gifts, enjoying festive feasts and brightening each other’s lives. Around the country, cities twinkle with diyas and rangolis add colour to doorways. The cooler weather also makes this the perfect time for long, cozy evenings playing games or dining outdoors with family and friends.

When is Diwali 2026?

Diwali, the Indian festival of lights takes place on Sunday 8th November 2026, making it the perfect excuse for a long weekend staycation or city break.

Do you know why Diwali is celebrated?

In Sanskrit, Diwali means "row of lights", and that’s exactly what you’ll see lighting up family homes, streets and hotels.

Rangoli is an Indian Diwali tradition. This intricate floor art is made with flower petals, coloured sand, rice or chalk powder. Although they can take hours to create, rangolis are fun to do with loved ones, and are said to attract positive energy into a space.

No celebration is complete without festive feasts. What better place to share love and blessing than around a table with your loved ones? Heartwarming biryani, chole (chickpea curry) and sweet prasad are among the festive favourites.

How about hosting a Diwali dinner in one of the semi-private dining rooms at Kanak restaurant at Trident’s 5 star hotel in Hyderabad? They’re a cozy spot for celebrating with family and friends.
