About this template
Diwali — Free Festival of Lights Greeting & Offer Post Template
Diwali is a free social media template for the festival of lights: a night-sky gradient from deep indigo to plum, a glowing row of five diyas along the bottom, and a ring of gold rangoli-style rays behind the headline. It is drawn entirely in CSS, so it recolours to your brand and stays sharp at every size.
English and Hindi in one greeting
Above the headline sits an editable Hindi line, "शुभ दीपावली", set in the Hind typeface, which carries both Devanagari and Latin letters. Keep it, replace it with a greeting in Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil or any language your customers read, or clear the field and it disappears. The English headline, "Happy *Diwali*", is set in a large serif with the festival name in gold, and the message below it is two lines you can reword for customers, staff or family.
A greeting first, an offer second
Diwali is one of the biggest buying seasons in India, around Dhanteras and Lakshmi Puja, so the card has an optional gold chip for a festive offer such as "Festive offer · Up to 30% off". Leave it empty for a pure greeting from an office, a school or a creator. Keep the tone warm: thank customers first, and let the chip carry the offer.
For feed, Story and WhatsApp Status
The Story size (1080×1920) fits WhatsApp Status and Instagram Stories, with the text kept clear of the top and bottom bars. The 4:5 portrait suits the Instagram and Facebook feed, and the 16:9 and LinkedIn sizes work for corporate greetings. Colours are editable: swap the gold for saffron or the sky for a deep maroon. Export PNG, JPEG, PDF, an animated video where the Hindi line, headline and message appear in turn, or the HTML.
Pair it with Discount Badge for a sale, Thank You after the festival, or Christmas Greeting for the next season.
Extend with AI
Take This Post Further With AI
Ask an AI assistant to adapt the Diwali HTML and CSS: write a greeting in your own language, animate the diya flames to flicker, or turn the offer chip into a countdown to the end of the festive sale.

Create a 1080×1350 Diwali greeting social post in plain HTML and CSS.
- A night-sky gradient from deep indigo (#1a0b3b) at the top to plum (#6d1b43) at the bottom, with a warm gold glow rising from the bottom edge.
- A large faint gold ring of radial rays (repeating-conic-gradient, masked into rings) behind the centre, like a rangoli.
- A small uppercase gold label "Festival of lights", the Hindi greeting "शुभ दीपावली" in gold, and a large serif headline "Happy Diwali" with "Diwali" in gold.
- A two-line warm message, then a gold pill reading "Festive offer · Up to 30% off" with a soft glow.
- Along the bottom, a row of five diyas: each a copper half-ellipse bowl with a glowing teardrop flame, the middle one slightly larger.
- The handle in gold at the very bottom.
- Size everything with a CSS variable --u equal to 1% of the shorter side.Want to tighten it up first? Run this prompt through the AI Prompt Studio to score it across 8 quality dimensions, catch anti-patterns, and tune the wording for Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini before you paste it in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Open the Diwali template, edit the greeting and message, add or clear the offer chip, then download the 4:5 PNG for the feed or choose the Story size (1080×1920) for WhatsApp Status and Instagram Stories.
Yes. The Hindi line is an ordinary text field, so type any greeting in Devanagari or another script. It is set in Hind, which supports Devanagari and Latin; other scripts use your device font.
Offers usually start a week before Dhanteras and continue through Lakshmi Puja and Bhai Dooj. Post the greeting on the day itself, and keep the festive offer post a separate earlier one.
Yes. The sky gradient, text and gold are all editable. The diya flames, rangoli ring, hindi line and offer chip follow the gold, so a saffron or deep maroon palette recolours the whole design.
