Diwali Wishes They Light Up with Their Own Finger
Hide your photo under a Diwali card. As they scratch, five diyas light up one by one, and the last one brings your photo, their name and your wishes. Made in a minute, sent as a link, opens on any phone.
The Same Forward, Fifty Times Over
Every Diwali the family group fills up with the same forwarded images and the same "Happy Diwali 🪔" from everyone. They get a thumbs-up and scroll away. Send something with your own photo and their name on it, and it stops being one more forward.
Five Diyas, Lit One by One
Under the card sits a row of five unlit diyas. With every swipe of their finger another one catches light. When the fifth glows, the card opens up with gold and marigold confetti, a shower of diyas, and your photo waiting underneath.
For Everyone You Can’t Be With This Year
Parents back home, a brother in another city, friends who moved abroad. If you can’t light the diyas together this Diwali, let them light yours from wherever they are, and see your face at the end of it.
One Link. Nothing to Download.
You get a link and send it on WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram or a plain SMS. They open it in their browser and start scratching: no app, no account, no sign-up on their side. Before they begin, they see that the wishes are from you.
🪔 Make Your Card NowHow to Make Your Diwali Card
Four steps, about a minute. The basic card is free.
Sign In for Free
Use your Google account or an email address. It’s free, and it’s only needed by you, the one making the card. The person receiving it just opens the link.
Add Your Name and Theirs
Your name shows up before they scratch, so they know who it’s from. Their name is optional, but "Happy Diwali, Nani! 🪔" lands very differently from a greeting meant for anyone.
Upload One Photo
A family photo from last Diwali, the two of you in festive clothes, the rangoli at your door. This is what appears once all five diyas are lit.
Send the Link
Copy the link, or tap your phone’s share icon, and send it wherever you chat. They scratch, the diyas light up, and your wishes appear: "Happy Diwali! May your life shine as bright as a thousand diyas 🪔".
Why It Feels Different from a Forward
A minute of your time, a moment they actually take part in.
They Light the Diyas Themselves
Each diya lights up as they scratch more of the card. It turns your wishes into a little ritual they do with their own finger, not an image they glance at.
Your Photo, Their Name
No stock graphics with a stranger’s family on them. The card ends with your own photo and greets them by name.
Free to Send
The basic card is free, with no card details needed: you only need a free account to create it. Free cards stay live for 7 days, so send it in the days around the festival.
Opens on Any Phone
It runs in the browser on Android, iPhone, tablet or computer. If your Dadi can open a WhatsApp link, she can scratch your card.
Three Ways to Play
With Premium, choose the classic scratch card, a Diwali puzzle that turns into your photo once it’s solved, or three cards to scratch with your photo after the third.
A Festive Finish
Gold and marigold confetti and a shower of diyas on every card. With Premium, pick fireworks, rising lanterns or falling marigold petals for the ending.
Who to Send It To
From Dhanteras to Bhai Dooj, there’s someone on your list.
Parents and Grandparents Far Away
If you’re celebrating in another city or another country this year, send them a photo of your diyas, your rangoli or the kids dressed up. They’ll light the diyas on their phone and see you at the end.
Your Husband, Wife or Partner
Hide a photo from your first Diwali together, or one from this year’s Lakshmi Puja, and add a few words only they would understand.
Your Brother or Sister for Bhai Dooj
Can’t make it for the tilak this year? Send a card with a childhood photo of the two of you and a message about all the times they had your back.
Friends Who Moved Abroad
The ones you used to burst crackers with every year, now in London, Toronto or Dubai. A throwback photo from those Diwalis will bring the whole thing back.
Colleagues and Your Team
Warm, festive and completely office-appropriate. A team photo under the diyas beats another "Happy Diwali, everyone" email that nobody opens.
Friends Who Celebrate with You
Diwali is the Festival of Lights for many: Hindu, Sikh and Jain families, and plenty of friends who simply love joining in. The card is all diyas, lights and color, and it works for all of them.
Diwali Messages to Make Your Own
With Premium you can write your own message, up to 300 characters. Start from one of these.
"Mummy, Papa, this is my first Diwali away from home. I’ll light the diyas here at seven, same time as you. Save some kaju katli for me. Happy Diwali 🪔"
For parents far away"Every Diwali with you feels brighter than the last. Thank you for being my light, today and every day. Happy Diwali, my love 💛"
For your partner"Bhai, you always gave me the bigger share of the sweets, even when you pretended you didn’t. Missing you this Bhai Dooj. Happy Diwali 🙏"
For your brother"Remember staying up all night on Diwali, bursting crackers on the terrace? Different cities now, same friendship. Happy Diwali, yaar ✨"
For an old friend"Wishing you and your family a bright and joyful Diwali. Thank you for a great year working together, and here’s to an even better one ahead 🪔"
For colleagues"Nani, the rangoli this year isn’t as good as yours, but I tried! May your home be full of light and laughter. Happy Diwali 🌼"

Make Your Wishes Shine Brighter
Small touches that make a big difference.
Send It on the Evening of Diwali
Right after the diyas are lit at home, or after Lakshmi Puja, is when everyone checks their phone for wishes. Your card arrives at the moment it means the most.
Always Add Their Name
A card that greets them by name feels made for them, because it is. Use what you really call them: Maa, Bhaiya, Didi, Nani.
Pick a Photo with a Memory
Last year’s puja, the kids in new clothes, the two of you on the terrace with sparklers. A photo they recognize means far more than a pretty stock image.
Ask for Their Reaction
Free cards are deleted after 7 days. If you want to keep the moment, ask them to send you a screenshot or a short video while they light the diyas.
What People Are Saying
From people who sent their Diwali wishes this way.
"My mother watched each diya light up and kept saying "one more, one more". When our photo from home appeared at the end, she called me right away."
"First Diwali in Leicester without my family. I sent the puzzle to my parents, and Papa solved all 24 pieces just to see the photo of my little diya setup."
"Sent one to my cousins for Bandi Chhor Divas with a photo of us at the gurdwara as kids. Simple, warm, and nothing like the usual forwards."
"Made it for my team in under a minute. Everyone in the group was scratching at the same time, and it got more replies than any Diwali email I’ve sent."
