Five Lamps of Deepavali
Deepavali 2026 — five days, five stories, from Dhanteras to Yama Dvitiya.
One story for each day of Deepavali (6–11 November 2026): Dhanvantari and the lamp for Yama, Krishna and Satyabhama's victory over Narakasura, Lakshmi at the threshold, Mahabali and the lifted hill of Govardhan, and Yamuna feeding her brother — with a companion essay on why the days differ across India.
Editorial note — Deepavali is kept differently across India: which story belongs to which day, and the dates themselves, vary by region and calendar. Dates here follow a Drik panchang for South India; check your local panchang or temple.
