Crackers for every Bihar celebration
Diwali is the big crackers night in Bihar, and Chhath follows six days later, so many families plan one order for both. Each guide tells you when the day falls, what families actually light, and which boxes to put in your order.

The days the South buys crackers
Sealed Standard Fireworks boxes at the Sivakasi wholesale price, delivered for every one of them.
Diwali
8 November 2026
In Bihar, Diwali evening begins with Lakshmi puja and a line of diyas along the roof edge, the window sills and the front step. Then the whole lane comes up to the roofs, and the crackers start.
What to buyChhath
Six days after Diwali, in Kartik
Chhath is Bihar's own festival and its most loved. Over four days the vratis fast, cook thekua at home, and stand in the river or a pond to offer arghya to the setting sun and then the rising one. Families walk to the ghat together, singing.
What to buyDussehra and Durga Puja
September or October, at the end of Navratri
Through Navratri, Patna fills with Durga Puja pandals, and families go round them in the evenings. On Vijayadashami the Ravan effigy burns at Gandhi Maidan, and towns across Bihar hold their own Ravan dahan.
What to buyKali Puja
The night of Diwali, on Kartik Amavasya
In the east of Bihar and across Mithila, many families and puja committees worship Maa Kali on the same night as Diwali. Pandals go up in the towns, and the puja runs late into the dark of the new moon.
What to buyChristmas and New Year
25 December and 31 December
Christmas midnight mass fills the churches of Patna, Padri ki Haveli in the old city among them, and a week later the city counts down to the new year from its rooftops.
What to buyFamily occasions
The other days that need crackers
Weddings, temple festivals, housewarmings and birthdays, each with a very different list.
Weddings
Through the lagan season
A Bihari wedding has its loudest moment at the door of the bride's house, when the baraat arrives with the band. There is the tilak before it, and the bidaai at the end, when the bride leaves for her new home.
What to buyTemple festivals and melas
Through the year, by temple and village
Bihar's year has its melas. The Sonepur fair at Kartik Purnima, where the Gandak meets the Ganga, is one of the oldest, and every town and village has its own temple day, its own puja and its own procession.
What to buyHousewarming
On your muhurat day
The pandit fixes a muhurat for the griha pravesh, and it is usually soon after sunrise. The family steps in with a kalash, the pandit does the puja, milk is boiled in the new kitchen, and the house has its first celebration.
What to buyBirthdays
Any day of the year
A first birthday, a sixtieth, or simply a big family evening often ends on the roof after the cake is cut.
