IndiaPlanning around the date
In India the 2027 date is a Thursday: one gazetted day, with no in-lieu weekday triggered. Malaysia and Singapore each take the single gazetted day too โ the year table below shows the exact dates.
One Indian wrinkle matters for planning: where a state government declares Naraka Chaturdasi โ the day before โ as its Diwali holiday, central offices in that state may close then instead. The following year, Diwali 2028 falls on Tuesday, 17 October.

Frequently asked questions
How many days until Diwali 2027?
The timer above counts down to Thursday, 28 October 2027. It recomputes against the current date, so the number is always live.
What date is Diwali in 2027 and 2028?
In the Indian central gazette, Diwali 2027 is Thursday, 28 October and Diwali 2028 is Tuesday, 17 October. Malaysia and Singapore print their own gazetted dates for 2027; the year-by-year table below has every year we publish.
Which countries take a day off for Diwali?
Among the calendars we publish: India (a central gazetted holiday), Malaysia (a federal holiday everywhere except Sarawak) and Singapore (one of its four religious public holidays). It is celebrated by communities elsewhere, but it is not a public holiday in the other countries we track.
How long is the Diwali break in India?
One day on the central gazette. Many states add Govardhan Puja or Bhai Dooj around it, and because Diwali is a five-night festival, schools and many businesses effectively close for longer. The table below shows exactly what each government gazetted.
Is Diwali a public holiday in Indonesia or Thailand?
No. In both countries โ and everywhere else we publish outside India, Malaysia and Singapore โ Diwali is celebrated by Hindu and Indian diaspora communities but remains an ordinary working day.
How do I add the Diwali dates to my calendar?
Download the free ICS file from the Malaysia holiday page (the anchor calendar for this page) or the downloads hub, and import it into Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar.
