In Indore, the Diwali festival will extend to six days instead of the usual five, beginning with Dhanteras on November 6. The extended celebrations will include revised dates for puja and festivities.
In the heart of Madhya Pradesh, the city of Indore will celebrate Diwali for an unprecedented six days, a change from the traditional five‑day festival. The extended celebrations will commence on Dhanteras, which falls on November 6 this year.
Officials have announced that the schedule for puja, lighting of lamps, and other customary rituals will be adjusted to accommodate the additional day. Residents and visitors can expect a prolonged period of festivities, with markets, temples, and community centers staying active for the full six days.
The decision aims to enhance the cultural experience for the local population and attract more tourists to the city during the peak festival season. Local businesses are preparing for increased footfall, while temple authorities are coordinating special events to mark the extended celebrations.
