A Diwali gift they light with their own finger. They strike a match in a dark doorway, light the first diya, then carry a candle's flame down a row of diyas on the steps. Each one catches with a soft crackle and lifts one of your photos and a memory out of its flame. Then a rangoli to colour, a phuljhadi to draw with, a mithai box with your notes, a sky lantern with your voice, fireworks, and your letter inside the rangoli they made.

Perfect if you want to light up their Diwali evening from another city.

  • Up to eight diyas, each lifting one of your photos and a one-line memory out of its flame
  • A rangoli they colour, sparklers they draw with, a mithai box with your notes and a gift inside
  • A sky lantern with your voice note, fireworks they launch, and your letter inside the finished rangoli
  • Pick who it's for, the mood (calm, festive or grand) and English or Hinglish; it can open at 7 pm on Diwali on their phone's clock

A Diwali diya you light online means something when you can't be in the same doorway. They strike the match, light the first diya with their own finger and carry the flame down the row; each diya that catches lifts one of your photos and a one-line memory out of its flame. By default it opens at 7 pm on Diwali on their phone's clock, wherever they are, with a row of unlit diyas and a countdown until then.

It adapts to who it's for. A partner gets hearts in the rangoli, family get a lotus and warm wishes, friends get stars and mischief, and Anyone keeps it simple for colleagues. Pick Calm for quiet fountains of light with no bangs, Festive for sparklers and a few fireworks, or Grand for the full aatishbaazi, in English or Hinglish. Your voice note waits under the sky lantern, and their finished rangoli saves as a keepsake. No app, any phone.

Why people choose this gift

  • They light it themselves

    Nothing just plays at them. They strike the match, carry the flame from diya to diya, colour the rangoli and launch the fireworks, and every diya they light gives back one of your memories.

  • Made for Diwali apart

    By default it opens at 7 pm on Sunday 8 November on their phone's clock, wherever they are, with a countdown until then. Mark that you're apart and a second lantern rises from your side of the sky.

  • Right for family, friends or your partner

    Hearts only appear for a partner. Family get a lotus rangoli and warm wishes, friends get stars and sparklers, and the Calm mood has no bangs at all, for grandparents and pets.

How to make it

  1. Pick who it's for

    Your partner, family, a friend or anyone, with the show's words in English or Hinglish.

  2. Add up to eight photos with a line each

Frequently asked questions

Can it open exactly on Diwali evening where they live?

Yes. By default it opens at 7 pm on Sunday 8 November on their phone's clock, wherever they are. Before then they see a row of unlit diyas and a countdown with your names. You can also pick another date and time, or send it to open right away.
