Hotels for Diwali in Jaipur 2026

India's festival of lights, and nowhere stages it like the Pink City: for the five days around the main night on 8 November the bazaars of the old town — Johari, Bapu, Nehru — compete in illuminations, whole facades strung in light, with the markets open late and firecrackers rolling across the city after dark.

The lighting is best seen on foot from Chandpol to the Hawa Mahal. Book early: Diwali is peak domestic travel, and the heritage havelis inside the walls go first.
