Best Diwali Songs for Instagram Reels & Festive Videos

Diwali is here, and so is the season of lights, laughter, sweets and celebrations!🪔✨

From decorating your home with diyas and rangolis to dressing up in your festive best, exchanging gifts and spending time with loved ones, Diwali is full of moments worth capturing.

And what's a festive Reel without the right music?

Whether you're making a home decoration video, showing off your Diwali outfit, capturing family celebrations or creating festive content for your brand, the right song can make your video feel even more special!

So, if you're looking for Diwali songs for Instagram Reels and festive videos, here are five tracks on Hoopr to add to your content playlist this Diwali.

5 Best Diwali Songs for Your Next Reel

1. Phuljhadi – Nupoor Khedkar

Just like a phuljhadi lighting up the night, this track is a festive pick for videos full of colour, energy and celebration.

Use it for your Diwali outfit transitions, getting-ready (GRWM) videos, festive makeup looks or a vibrant Instagram Reel of your celebrations. It's a great track to pair with those moments when you're dressed up and ready to celebrate.

2. Happy Diwali – Anirudh Bhola

Some songs are made for spreading festive cheer, and Happy Diwali is a natural pick for capturing the spirit of the occasion.

Use it for family celebration videos, greeting Reels, festive wishes or a collage of your favourite Diwali moments. It's also the perfect choice for brands looking to share a warm, celebratory message with their audience.

3. Diwali Time – Tanvi Dhobale

The festive season comes with its own little rituals, from cleaning and decorating the house to shopping for gifts and preparing for the big day.

Diwali Time can be a fitting soundtrack for capturing these moments. Use it for home transformation videos, decoration timelapses, festive preparations or a day-in-my-life Reel showing everything that goes into celebrating Diwali.

4. Aayi Re Diwali – Ramanshu Mishra

The excitement of Diwali is in the little things: the lights going up, sweets being shared, family coming together and the whole house feeling festive.

Use Aayi Re Diwali for a celebration montage, a festive home tour or a Reel capturing the excitement of the day. It's also worth exploring for festive content that brings together traditional celebrations and modern video edits.

5. Dhol Tasha – Banjaarey

Want to bring some extra energy to your festive content?

Dhol Tasha is a track to explore for high-energy transitions, group celebration videos and festive outfit reveals. Try syncing your cuts and transitions to the beat to give your Reel a lively, rhythmic feel.

Whether you're creating a festive dance video or capturing the excitement of a celebration, a strong beat can help bring the visuals together.

Diwali Content Ideas for Your Next Reel

Now that you've got your playlist sorted, what should you create with it?

Diwali Outfit Transitions

Start in your everyday outfit and transition into your festive look with a quick spin, a hand-over-camera transition or a match cut. Pair it with a track that fits the energy of your transformation.

Home Decoration and Rangoli Videos

Capture the process of decorating your home, arranging diyas, making rangolis and lighting up your space. A festive soundtrack can turn ordinary preparations into a satisfying before-and-after Reel.

Diwali Day Vlogs

Document your day, from the morning preparations and festive food to family time and the evening celebrations. Use short clips and a song that ties the moments together.

Family and Friends Reels

Capture the laughter, gift exchanges, festive photos and little moments that make Diwali memorable. Choose a track that complements the mood rather than overpowering the memories.

Festive Content for Brands

Brands and creators can use Diwali to showcase festive collections, gift hampers, product demonstrations, special offers and campaign videos. Pair clear visuals with music that fits the brand's message and make sure the music licence covers the intended commercial use.

Celebrate Diwali with the Right Music

While choosing the right song matters, it's just as important to check whether you have permission to use it.

Music available on social media isn't automatically cleared for every type of content. In particular, branded, sponsored and commercial videos may require music licensed specifically for that use.

That's where Hoopr comes in.

Hoopr helps creators and editors discover licensed music across Indian languages, genres, moods and use cases, along with music from Indian artists and sound effects. You can explore tracks for festive Reels, YouTube videos and other content, subject to the applicable licence terms.

So you can spend less time worrying about finding suitable music and more time bringing your creative ideas to life.
