Diwali 2026 market holiday overview
Diwali fell on Sunday, 8 November 2026. The festival date is fixed in the 2026 Indian holiday calendar, but a Matka market's schedule is a separate matter. Individual markets can announce a longer break, close only on the festival day, or continue their usual sessions. A public holiday does not automatically establish a holiday for every market.
For Diwali 2026, several publicly posted notices list 6–15 November as the extended closure period for markets including Kalyan, Kalyan Night, Milan Day, Milan Night and Main Bazar. Those notices give 16 November 2026 as the expected reopening date. Other notices specifically distinguish Kalyan Morning and Milan Morning as Diwali-day-only closures, while the Sridevi family is reported to continue during the festival. These are reported schedules, not live operational guarantees.
Matka Diwali holidays 2026: market-wise closure table
Use this table to compare the different categories of Diwali schedules. The dates are deliberately listed by market instead of assuming that all results stopped for the same period. “Reported operating” means a notice described normal operation; it does not prove that a result was published on every date.
| Market | Reported holiday category | Dates | Reopening / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kalyan (Day) | Extended closure | 6–15 Nov 2026 | Expected 16 Nov |
| Kalyan Night | Extended closure | 6–15 Nov 2026 | Expected 16 Nov |
| Milan Day | Extended closure | 6–15 Nov 2026 | Expected 16 Nov |
| Milan Night | Extended closure | 6–15 Nov 2026 | Expected 16 Nov |
| Main Bazar | Extended closure | 6–15 Nov 2026 | Expected 16 Nov |

“Kalyan Day” here refers to the commonly listed Kalyan market, and “Sridevi Day” to the daytime Sridevi listing. Market names can differ across directories. A notice about “Main Bazar Day” should not be applied to the separately named “Main Bazar” market.
Markets with an extended Diwali closure
Published Diwali 2026 schedules group Kalyan, Kalyan Night, Milan Day, Milan Night, Main Bazar and Time Bazar among markets with a reported break from 6 to 15 November. A more detailed notice also includes Rajdhani Night and Night Time Bazar. Because both the start and end dates are included, this covers ten calendar dates rather than only the day of Diwali.
Kalyan and Kalyan Night reopening
Both Kalyan and Kalyan Night appear in the extended-closure list. The announced return date is Monday, 16 November 2026. That is the reported schedule, not confirmation that a result will appear at a particular hour. Their separate market pages remain the appropriate places to check the latest recorded updates.
Milan Day and Milan Night reopening
The notices list Milan Day and Milan Night in the longer break. They should not be confused with Milan Morning, for which a different Diwali-day-only notice was posted. After the reported 16 November restart, check each individual market's recorded status before assuming that its ordinary schedule has resumed.
Main Bazar, Rajdhani and Time Bazar
Main Bazar, Rajdhani Night and Time Bazar are also named in the published extended-closure notices. Rajdhani Day appears as a holiday on some result listings, but its exact Diwali closure range is not consistently documented in the notices reviewed. FixResult therefore does not assign it the same dates without a clearer supporting announcement.
Which Matka markets closed only for Diwali day?
A single-day closure is different from the extended break. The published 2026 notice describes Kalyan Morning and Milan Morning as closed specifically for Diwali on 8 November, with their otherwise normal schedules continuing on other applicable days. It also identifies Main Bazar Day as a separate single-day closure, not the same listing as Main Bazar.
Kalyan Morning
The reported holiday applies to Diwali day rather than the full 6–15 November break. Availability on another date still depends on the market's normal weekly schedule and actual update records.
Milan Morning
Milan Morning's posted holiday is for Diwali itself. Do not carry over Milan Day or Milan Night's longer closure period to Milan Morning simply because all three share the Milan name.
Which Matka markets remained scheduled during Diwali?
The detailed public notice identifies Sridevi Morning, Sridevi (Day) and Sridevi Night as markets reported to continue during Diwali. This makes their holiday schedule different from the extended breaks described above. For visitors, the distinction is useful: an absent Sridevi result should not immediately be labelled a festival closure unless a market-specific notice supports that explanation.
Diwali 2026 market holiday and reopening timeline
This timeline shows the dates reported for the extended-closure group. It should not be interpreted as a universal operating calendar for every Matka market.
- Reported break begins
Extended-closure notices begin for Kalyan, Milan Day/Night, Main Bazar and other named markets.
- Diwali festival day
The holiday day for Kalyan Morning and Milan Morning; Sridevi variants are reported to continue.
- Scheduled final closure date
The published extended break includes 15 November as its final listed day.
- Expected reopening
Notices give this date for resumption; actual publication and any revised timings require a later market-specific check.
Some sites also announce timing changes after the holiday. Since a new timetable can differ by market and source, this page does not publish speculative post-holiday Open or Close times. Use each market's timing information after its schedule is confirmed.
Why a Matka result may be missing during a holiday
A missing result is not proof that a market is closed. A market may be on a scheduled festival break, observing its usual weekly day off, waiting for a result to be published, or experiencing a delay between external publication and FixResult's update process. Those conditions should be labelled differently because they describe different facts.
Holiday reported
Use this only when a dated, market-specific notice covers the selected date. Keep the notice dates alongside the status so users can see why an update is not expected.
Awaiting result
Use this when the session may be operating but no complete update is available yet. Do not automatically turn an API timeout or empty field into a holiday label.
Regular weekly off-day
Use a market's documented weekly schedule. A Sunday with no result does not automatically confirm a Diwali-specific closure, even if the festival happened to fall on Sunday.
Schedule not confirmed
Use neutral wording when conflicting sources list different closure periods or no reliable timetable has been published. Leave the actual date blank rather than guessing.
For historical charts, it is better to preserve an empty day with an explicit reason, when that reason is documented, than to insert a placeholder number or carry forward the previous result. A holiday note and a historical result record serve different purposes.
Republic Day, Independence Day and other market holidays
Diwali is not the only occasion when visitors may want a market closure schedule. Republic Day (26 January) and Independence Day (15 August) are national holidays in India. However, that does not establish a uniform closure policy for privately listed Matka markets. A national holiday calendar confirms the festival or observance date; a separate market notice is required to confirm that a specific market was closed.
| Occasion | 2026 date | Market closure record on this page |
|---|---|---|
| Republic Day | Monday, 26 January | Market-by-market closure not documented here |
| Independence Day | Saturday, 15 August | Market-by-market closure not documented here |
| Diwali / Deepavali | Sunday, 8 November | Market-specific 2026 schedule shown above |
These holiday dates are supported by Indian government calendars. “Not documented here” means we have not included a sufficiently clear market-specific record; it does not mean a market was open or closed.

FixResult is an informational reference, not a market operator. Holiday schedules on this page are compiled from publicly visible notices and checked for differences between similarly named markets. The publicly posted notices can be revised or disagree with one another, so the table distinguishes announced dates from an unconfirmed exact date range.
