How to check muhurat (city‑specific aarti timings)

Auspicious windows (Pradosh Kaal, Nishita Kaal) vary by location and sampradaya. Your local mandir will post final aarti schedules 1–2 weeks before Diwali.

• Steps
  1. Set your city (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin) in a panchang.
  2. Note Lakshmi Puja muhurat for Mon 20 Oct 2025.
  3. Match it with your temple’s announced aarti slot (minor adjustments possible for crowd flow).
  4. Arrive 30–45 minutes early, especially with elders/young kids.

What Diwali looks like in Australia (format, rules, fireworks)

• The format
  • Temple aartis on Diwali night; Annakut (Govardhan Puja) displays the next day.
  • Council‑backed and community‑run festivals in iconic squares, parks, and civic venues.
  • Family‑focused programming: kids’ craft areas, rangoli showcases, dance/music, and food markets.
• Venue rules
  • Bag checks at large venues; travel light and follow onsite signage.
  • No open flames indoors; public squares may use LED/flameless diya moments.
  • Photography allowed in most public zones—avoid flash during aarti and respect “no photography” signs in sanctums.
• Fireworks reality in Australia
  • Consumer fireworks are banned in most states/territories. Licensed pyrotechnic displays may occur at permitted events only. Don’t bring fireworks or sparklers to public festivals.
  • Expect light shows, lasers, projections, fountains, or drone sequences instead of pyrotechnics at many city celebrations.

Camera (manual)

• Aarti: meter for the flame; underexpose 1/3 stop to preserve highlight detail; no flash.

Etiquette

• Ask before close‑ups; keep aisles clear; respect “no photography” signs.

For sponsors and community organisers

Why sponsor

4. 2–3 weeks out: Prep giveaways; brief staff on cultural etiquette.

KPIs
