An interactive doodle story with your family's names in it
A rangoli parts like a curtain. A little sister can't quite light the rocket. Her big brother takes over and gets a face full of soot. Then Lakshmi pooja, a table of mithai, and everyone lined up for the family photo under your Happy Diwali. Two minutes to make, free, shared as a WhatsApp link.

Quick answer
To make a Diwali card for your family online, open the Diwali Celebration card, type your sister’s and brother’s names (they go into the story’s speech bubbles), write one short message and a sign-off, optionally add a family photo, and share the link on WhatsApp. It is a 36-second interactive doodle story with five tap moments, it is free, and neither of you needs an app or an account. Diwali 2026 is Sunday, 8 November; Bhai Dooj is Tuesday, 10 November.
Nine beats, hand-sketched in a doodle style, made for a phone held upright. Your siblings’ names go into the speech bubbles.
A big spinning rangoli splits like a curtain to reveal the courtyard: string lights, a toran on the door, diyas on the step.
She reaches in with a phooljhadi, flinches, tries again, flinches again. Three times.
“Chal hat Riya, main jalata hoon!” Your sister’s name goes here. She steps back with a pout.
It whooshes up and dumps black smoke straight into his face. Soot face, puffed hair, two slow blinks. Behen can’t stop laughing.
Fireworks, chakris spinning on the ground, anaars fountaining, the neighbours’ rooftops lighting up.
“Aarav! Riya! Aa jao, pooja kar lo!” Both names are yours to change.
The whole family with folded hands before the home mandir, the aarti thali circling, the bell swinging. Bhai still sooty.
Ladoo, kaju katli, jalebi, chakli, gujiya. Bhai gets ladoo on his sooty face. Everyone laughs.
Everyone lines up at the door with phooljhadis, the camera flashes, and Happy Diwali writes itself in gold with your message.
The card pauses at five moments and asks for a tap, with a hint and a glowing target. Kids tap everything. If nobody taps for a few seconds it carries on by itself, so Dadi can just watch.
Tap a diya anywhere and it flares. Tap a mithai and it bounces. Tap the sky during the fireworks and a new cracker bursts where you touched.
Two fields most cards don’t have: Sister’s name and Brother’s name. Whatever you type goes into the speech bubbles.
Nicknames land harder: Chintu, Guddi, Bunty, Mini. Only child? Use a cousin. Sending to your parents? Put yourself and your sibling in.
Upload one photo from your phone and it hangs in a gold frame under the Happy Diwali title, right where the doodle family would have stood. Last year’s Diwali photo is perfect.
Skip it and the card shows its illustrated family: Papa, Mummy, Bhai with his sooty face, Behen with her sparkler, Dadi with her glasses.
The title takes 24 characters, the message about 90, plus a sign-off. English, Hindi, Hinglish or any Indian language you can type.
One card, every branch of the family tree.
Everyone is in it. The kids tap, the elders watch, the cousins screenshot Bhai’s face.
Their name is in the story. Send it on Diwali, or as a Bhai Dooj card two days later.
Put yourself and your sibling in, and let them watch the two of you argue over a rocket again.
A link opens in any browser in any country. Send it the night before in their timezone.
Five taps, a rocket, a sooty face and a ladoo. Made for small thumbs.
Prefer the classic look? The Diwali card maker has a professional wishes tab.
Bhai Dooj (Bhau Beej, Bhai Tika, Bhai Phonta) is the last of the five days of Diwali: sisters put a tilak on their brothers, brothers bring the gifts, everyone eats. The card is a brother-and-sister story, so put your sibling’s name in, write a Bhai Dooj line as the message, and send it on the morning of the 10th. Different cities? Do the tilak on video call; the card handles the teasing.
Each one fits the card’s message slot. One wish, one specific detail, done.
Is saal bhi wahi rocket, wahi jhagda, wahi pooja, wahi ladoo. Bas aap sab saath ho, yahi Diwali hai. Happy Diwali, family!
May our home stay this loud, this bright and this full of mithai every year. Happy Diwali to the best family in the group.
दीयों की रोशनी और आप सबका साथ — इससे बड़ी दौलत कोई नहीं। शुभ दीपावली, पूरे परिवार को।
Rocket tu jalata hai, muh tera kala hota hai, hasti main hoon. Kuch nahi badla. Happy Diwali, Bhai!
To the brother who takes over every rocket and every remote. Happy Diwali. Mithai mine, soot yours.
Behen, tu rocket se darti hai par mujhse nahi, yeh galat priority hai. Happy Diwali, pagal!
Diwali ki roshni, tere jaise chamke. Aur mera share ka kaju katli chhod dena. Happy Diwali, Didi.
Mummy, Papa — the diyas are yours, the rangoli is yours, the whole light in this house is yours. Happy Diwali.
Dadi, aapke haath ke ladoo aur aapki aarti ke bina Diwali adhoori hai. Bahut pyaar. Shubh Deepawali.
Tilak lagane aa rahi hoon, gift ready rakhna. Happy Bhai Dooj, Bhai. Muh kala mat karna is baar.
Happy Bhai Dooj to the brother who lit every rocket so I didn’t have to. Long life, big gifts, no soot.

Diwali 2026 runs from Dhanteras to Bhai Dooj. Dates follow the lunar panchang and can shift by a day between regions.

| Choti Diwali | Saturday, 7 November | ⭐ Best evening to send, before the morning flood |
| Lakshmi Puja (Diwali) | Sunday, 8 November | Morning, before everyone is busy with pooja |
| Govardhan Puja | Monday, 9 November | Missed the day? A belated card still lands |
| Bhai Dooj | Tuesday, 10 November | ⭐ Sibling cards: same story, a Bhai Dooj message |
