Free Printable Diwali Coloring Pages

These free printable Diwali coloring pages are a fun way for kids to learn about the Festival of Lights while getting creative.

The set includes six Diwali coloring sheets featuring diya lamps, fireworks, an elephant, the Indian flag, and scenes from the story of Rama and Sita.

We originally used these while learning about Diwali together, and I found that coloring the different scenes made it much easier to talk about the traditions and story behind the celebration.

What’s Included in the Diwali Coloring Pages

This printable set includes six Diwali coloring pages that work together as a simple story for kids. Each page includes a short piece of text to read and a large picture to color.

The story begins with Rama and Sita before following Rama’s journey to bring Sita home. Kids then learn how Diwali is celebrated through lights and fireworks, before coloring pages featuring the Indian flag and traditional lamps.

The final coloring page features a large diya and smaller lamps alongside a simple message about good overcoming bad and celebrating together.

For more ways to explore the Festival of Lights, our Diwali activities include crafts, books, games, and other hands-on ideas for kids.

What is Diwali?

Diwali, or the Festival of Lights, is celebrated each autumn by millions of people in India and around the world.

Celebrations often include lighting diya lamps, creating rangoli designs, sharing sweets, and spending time with family.

Our coloring pages follow the story of Rama and Sita, giving kids a simple way to explore one tradition associated with Diwali while they color.

We also paired the printable with 12 Major World Religions to learn more about Hindu traditions and the significance of Diwali.

Diwali Books for Kids

We always like to pair our coloring pages with a good book, and Diwali is no exception. Reading together adds depth to the activity and helps kids understand Diwali traditions and celebrations.

• Amma, Tell Me About Diwali! – A bright, engaging retelling of the story of Rama and Sita that younger kids can easily follow.
• Binny’s Diwali – My son enjoyed this one for its mix of school life and holiday traditions.
• Shubh Diwali! – A gentle, rhyming introduction to how families celebrate with lights, sweets, and rangoli.

These are easy to read alongside the coloring story, especially when kids have questions about the traditions and celebrations shown on the pages.

For another printable activity, try our free Diwali color by number printables, which are a fun way for younger kids to practice number recognition while coloring festive designs.
