Questions
How is this different from the timer on my phone?
Everyone with the link watches the same countdown, and it ends at the same moment on every device, in each person's own language and time zone.
Does it work across time zones?
Yes. A countdown to a set time ends at the same instant everywhere and shows each viewer their local time. Choose Each viewer's local time to have everyone count to midnight where they are, as on New Year's Eve.
Do people need an account or an app?
No. Anyone with the link can watch in any browser, and creating a countdown needs no sign-up.
What does Hold until I start do?
Guests see a waiting screen until you start it, then every clock begins at once. A held date countdown also starts on its own when the date arrives.
Can I put a countdown on my website?
Yes. Open Share, choose Embed, and paste the code into your page.
Is CountUsDown free?
Yes. Ads keep it free, and they never appear during the final minute or at zero.

Diwali Countdown
Made to share: send this countdown to friends and family, and everyone counts down to the same moment.
Diwali 2026 is on Sunday, November 8.
Diwali, the festival of lights, falls on the new moon of the Hindu month of Kartik, so its date moves between mid-October and mid-November. The main celebration, Lakshmi Puja, is on the date shown here; the festivities run over five days around it.
Put it on the TV while the diyas are lit, or share one link with family in India and abroad so everyone counts down together, each in their own time zone.
Questions
When is Diwali 2026?
Diwali 2026 is on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The date follows the Hindu lunar calendar, which is why it changes every year. Some regions mark the main day a day apart; this countdown uses the widely published Lakshmi Puja date.
How many days until Diwali?
The live countdown on this page shows exactly how long is left, down to the second. It counts to midnight in your own time zone, and every device stays in sync.
How long does Diwali last?
Five days: Dhanteras, Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali), Lakshmi Puja (the main day), Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj. This countdown runs to the main day.
Can I put the Diwali countdown on my TV?
Yes. Open this page on the TV, computer or tablet and tap Full screen: you get a big, clean clock with nothing else on screen. It keeps counting by itself, even if no one touches it.
Can I share the Diwali countdown with family and friends?
Tap Share to send this page by message, email or any app. Or tap Make your own countdown to give it your own name, colors, ending and message — everyone you share it with sees the same countdown, synced to the second, in their own language. No app or sign-up needed.
