Diwali 2026 is on Sunday, 8 November, with Dhanteras on Friday 6 November and Bhai Dooj on Tuesday 10 November. Painting a room takes a week of dust and drying. A printed feature wall takes an afternoon to put up and arrives in four to seven days, which means you can decide in the last week of October and still be done before Dhanteras. Here is the plan, the designs, the finishes that come alive under diya light, and the dates.
Dates that matter
- Dhanteras: Friday 6 November 2026. Diwali: Sunday 8 November. Bhai Dooj: Tuesday 10 November.
- Order by Wednesday 28 October to be on the wall for Dhanteras; by 20 October if you want a ₹199 sample first.
- Printing within 24 hours of proof approval, dispatch within 48 hours, delivery in 4 to 7 days, free shipping.
- Pay 30% now and the rest when it arrives, on orders up to ₹20,000.
The one-week plan
- Day 1 (Wednesday): pick a design, enter your wall size on the price calculator, upload a photo to preview it, approve the free digital proof the same day.
- Day 2 to 3: we print on our UV press in Surat and dispatch within 48 hours of approval.
- Day 5 to 7: it arrives; free shipping across India.
- Same afternoon: peel-and-stick goes up in two hours with two people; paste-the-wall in an afternoon with a fitter.
- Diwali week: diyas on the console in front of the wall, rangoli below it, done.
Six festive walls
Gold leaf abstract. Brushed gold on charcoal; a row of diyas in front of it doubles the light. The living room wall for the party.
Sacred mandala. One large mandala behind the rangoli corner or the pooja unit; centre it on the idol.
Elephant procession. Festive and traditional without being loud; ochre and indigo sit well with marigold.
Rajasthani jharokha. Carved windows printed on the foyer wall greet guests at the door; hang the toran across it.
Brushed brass. The dining wall for the card party; warm light from a pendant above the table.
Peacock court. Peacock feathers in jewel tones for the living room; the colours of the season.
Room by room
| Room | Wall | Design | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Living room | Behind the sofa, opposite the door | Gold leaf abstract or peacock court | Pearl Metallic ₹220 or Stardust ₹270 |
| Dining | Behind the table | Brushed brass | Pearl Metallic ₹220 |
| Foyer | Facing the entrance | Rajasthani jharokha | Leather Grain ₹190 |
| Pooja corner | Back of the alcove | Sacred mandala or Pichwai lotus | Crystal Canvas ₹230 |
| Rented flat, any room | One wall | Any of the above | Easy Matte ₹129, removes in January |
Finishes that catch diya light
Pearl Metallic (₹220/sq ft) and Stardust (₹270/sq ft) carry a shimmer that lamplight and diya flames pick up; matte finishes stay flat at night. If you rent, Easy Matte peel-and-stick at ₹129/sq ft comes off cleanly in January. Keep open flames 30 cm or more from the wall, as you would with paint; the finishes are UV-cured and wipe clean of smoke residue.
What it costs
| Wall | Easy Matte ₹129 | Pearl Metallic ₹220 | Stardust ₹270 |

Get a priceStyling the wall for the festival
- Diyas and candles on a console 30 cm in front of the wall, not on a shelf against it.
- Marigold torans along the top edge, fixed to the ceiling line, not to the print.
- Warm fairy lights (2700 K) draped at the sides; cool white kills the gold.
- Rangoli on the floor below a mandala wall lines up the two circles.
How ordering works
- Measure the wall at its widest and tallest point in feet or centimetres. Our measuring guide takes five minutes.
- Enter the size on any design page or the price calculator; every finish prices itself instantly, GST included.
- Preview it on your wall: upload a photo and the design is composited onto your room in seconds, free.
- Approve the digital proof. We lay the print out on your exact wall size and send it before printing. Recolouring or moving a motif is free.
- We print within 24 hours of approval on our own UV press in Surat and dispatch within 48 hours.
- Delivery in 4 to 7 days anywhere in India, shipping free. Pay 30% online and the rest when it arrives (orders up to ₹20,000).
After Diwali
Peel-and-stick comes down cleanly in January if it was a festival-only wall. The paste-the-wall finishes are meant to stay; a brass or gold wall reads as a dining-room wall the rest of the year, not a decoration. Damaged panel from a candle? We reprint the panel to size.
Frequently asked questions
Will it arrive before Diwali if I order in the first week of November?
Usually, since dispatch is within 48 hours and delivery 4 to 7 days, but do not cut it that fine; order by 28 October.
Can I take the wall down after the festival?
Easy Matte peel-and-stick removes cleanly. The paste-the-wall finishes are meant to stay.
Is a metallic wall safe near diyas?
Yes with 30 cm clearance, the same as paint. The finishes are UV-cured; smoke residue wipes off.
Which is the most festive design for a small flat?
Gold leaf abstract on one wall behind the sofa. It reads rich without pattern, so a small room does not shrink.
Do you gift-wrap or do gift cards?
Not yet. A feature wall for a family member ships to any address in India; send us the wall size and we handle the rest.
Can the wall be ready for Dhanteras puja?
Order by 28 October and it is up by 6 November in most cities.
