For many of us, the celebration of diwali begins with a trip to the temple, and it’s just a few days before that happens. We get up early, get dressed in new clothes, light a diya, ring the bell and pray with the entire family. This is the time to share, and a great caption can complete the photo. That’s why we created this huge list of temple captions for Instagram.
Find over 250 Diwali Captions for Instagram in English & Hinglish. Some are brief and succinct and others a little bit longer. Some of them are humorous, some of them are peaceful and have faith. There are also captions for family, friends, couples, selfies, sarees, diyas, rangoli, sweets and even business posts! Simply choose the one that best matches your photo, copy and post it.
All of the concepts are expressed in plain language and designed to be understood and used by everyone. There’s no need to make many adjustments. Include your name and/or your city or your temple’s name if you wish. Finally, you will also receive hashtags, posting hints, photo etiquette tips and answers to some frequently asked questions. Letβs start.

These are the ones that we recommend. They work for any photo in the temple during Diwali, including the door, bell, the diya or you standing in front of the deity. They’re all beautiful, easy-to-understand, and festive. If you are unsure and can’t think of what to write, look at this list first.

Posting tips
- Post early in the morning or in the evening. People log into Instagram during these times of the festival the most.
- Use 5 to 10 hashtags. Too many look unattractive.
- Choose the appropriate title to the image. A humorous title to a serious prayer photo is not at all appropriate.
- Use clear and bright pictures. Both early morning and evening diya light are beautiful.
- If there is a page for this temple, tag it, and add the location.
- Reply to comments. But it only takes a minute and will get your post out to more people.
- Have English, Hindi and Hinglish captions in your posts so everyone in your family can enjoy it.
Temple photo etiquette
- Always ask whether or not photography is permitted. In several temples it is forbidden to take photos in the main shrine.
- If there is a sign “no” do not take pictures of the deity!
- Respect the privacy of strangers when taking their picture while they are in prayer.
- Have your cell phone vibrate within the temple.
- Avoid obstructing the way. Make way for a photo op, so devotees can pass by.
- Wear reasonable clothes and take off shoes as appropriate.
- Avoid using flash in aarti. It disturbs people.
These little habits help to maintain a peaceful atmosphere and help to make your temple captions for Instagram feel good!
