Your Facebook cover is the largest image on your page, and during the festival season it is the first thing visitors see. Swapping it for a Diwali cover for a couple of weeks tells customers, members, and friends that you are celebrating with them. This template is sized at 820 x 312 pixels, the dimensions Facebook uses to display covers on desktop, and is designed so the important parts survive the different crops Facebook applies on phones.
What Is on the Cover?
The background is a deep plum. Marigold garland strands hang from a brass cord along the top edge, two at the far left and two at the far right, each ending in a small bell. Two soft gold firework bursts open on either side of the centre. The greeting Happy Diwali is written large in gold Great Vibes script, and a line in spaced ivory capitals underneath reads FROM ALL OF US AT KAPOOR SWEETS AND SNACKS. Five diyas, terracotta, brass, and a painted magenta lamp in the middle, sit in a row along the bottom, and the Office Templates Online mark sits to their right in a soft rose.
Why Are the Garlands at the Edges?
Facebook shows covers differently on different devices. On desktop, you see the whole 820 x 312 image. On phones, Facebook trims the left and right sides and shows a taller crop. Anything at the far edges may disappear on mobile. That is why the edges of this cover hold only decoration (the marigold strands), while the greeting, your business name, and the diyas sit in the centre, where every device shows them.
Where Should My Page Name Go?
Click the line FROM ALL OF US AT KAPOOR SWEETS AND SNACKS and type your own name. Keep it in capitals with the same spacing so it reads as a refined caption. Short names look best on one line; if yours is long, shorten the phrase to FROM KAPOOR SWEETS, or reduce the letter spacing a little in the text settings.
Can I Change the Greeting?
Yes. Replace Happy Diwali with Shubh Deepavali, Happy Deepavali, or a greeting in your own language using a font that supports its script. Great Vibes is a Latin script font, so for Devanagari text, choose a font such as Yatra One or Rozha One from the font menu.
How Do I Upload It to Facebook?
- Download the cover as a PNG. PNG keeps the script lettering crisp; Facebook sometimes blurs JPG text in covers.
- On your page, click the camera icon or Edit on the cover photo and choose Upload Photo.
- Drag to reposition if Facebook offers it, then save.
- Check the page on your phone to make sure the greeting and name are fully visible.
When Should I Change the Cover?
A simple plan many businesses use:
| When | Cover to show |
|---|---|
| Two weeks before Diwali | A sale or offer cover, if you run a festive promotion |
| Dhanteras to Bhai Dooj (November 6 to about November 10 or 11, 2026) | This Diwali greeting cover |
| After the festival week | Back to your regular cover, or a thank-you cover |
Diwali itself falls on Sunday, November 8, 2026.
Can I Use It on Other Platforms?
The 820 x 312 shape is specific to Facebook pages and groups. Other platforms use other sizes: LinkedIn company pages use a wider and shorter banner, YouTube channel art is much larger, and X headers are wider still. You can copy the elements from this cover onto a canvas of the right size, or use the LinkedIn post and website banner in this collection, which are already sized for those uses.
How Do I Recolour It for My Brand?
Click the plum background to change its colour. Dark tones such as navy, emerald, maroon, or charcoal keep the gold greeting readable. The marigold strands and diyas are editable vectors; select them to change their colour swatches, for example, turning the painted diya into your brand colour. The fireworks are vectors too and can be made silver or rose gold.
Does It Work for a Facebook Group?
Facebook group covers use a different, wider ratio than page covers. The centre of this design will display well, but the top and bottom may be trimmed. For a community group, test the upload and adjust the position of the greeting if necessary.
What About Accessibility?
After uploading, add a short description to the cover photo, for example, Happy Diwali greeting from Kapoor Sweets and Snacks with diyas and marigold garlands. It helps people using screen readers and also tells Facebook what the image contains.
Can I Add a Photo of My Shop?
The cover is designed as a greeting rather than a photo cover. If you want your shop in it, change the plum background to a photo by adding a rectangle from the Elements panel behind everything, using Replace Image on it, and lowering its opacity so the gold text stays readable.
Is There a Matching Post?
Yes. The square Diwali greeting post and the business greeting post with a logo in this collection share the same warm palette and festival motifs, so your page looks coordinated throughout the festival.
Will the Cover Look Good Next to My Profile Picture?
Your profile picture appears near the cover on every device, and on many layouts it sits below the lower left area. That is one reason the left side of this cover holds only garland strands rather than text. Check that your profile picture still looks right with the plum background; a logo on a white circle stands out well against it. If your profile picture is also festive, for example, a logo with a small diya added, the page looks coordinated for the whole festival week.
Can I Add Holiday Opening Hours?
Covers are best kept simple, but a short line of holiday information can help customers. Add a small text box under the business name, such as Closed Sunday, November 8 for Diwali, in the same spaced capitals. Keep it short so it stays readable on phones, and also post the full holiday hours in a pinned post.
