Practical Guidance

Celebrating Hindu festivals in Australia

1Diwali in Sydney happens in spring (October-November) — 5-7°C colder than Indian Diwali but with longer evening daylight.
2Janmashtami midnight puja: Sydney is 4.5 hours ahead of India, so ISKCON globally syncs Sydney first.
3Holi falls in March-April Australian autumn — temperatures drop, but festivities stay strong in temples.
4Hindu Council of Australia organizes major events — calendars often align with Indian Standard Time + 4.5 to +5 hours.
