Last-Minute Dasara Advertising: Get Your Offer Seen Before 20 October
Last updated: 17 October 2026
You've printed the festive banner. The Dasara discount is ready. The problem is the calendar: Vijayadashami falls on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, and most advertising takes weeks to book.
LED panels don't. Prime·Frame prints and installs your poster within 24 hours. If your artwork is ready this weekend, your offer can be on the wall of a busy gym, salon or clinic near your shop by Monday, in time for Ayudha Puja and Vijayadashami.
Key Dasara 2026 dates for your plan
| Day | Date |
|---|---|
| Navaratri began | Sunday, 11 October |
| Mahanavami / Ayudha Puja (observed by many families) | Monday, 19 October |
| Vijayadashami (Dasara) | Tuesday, 20 October |
| Mysuru Jamboo Savari | Wednesday, 21 October |
Dates as published in 2026 festival calendars. Some families observe Ayudha Puja on a different day, so check your local panchang.
Why a Dasara panel still makes sense with 3 days to go
1. It's live in 24 hours. There's no booking cycle and no wait for a hoarding slot. You send your artwork, and we print and install it within 24 hours.
2. It keeps working after Dasara. A panel runs for 30 days. If it goes up on 19 October, your poster is still on the wall on Diwali (Sunday, 8 November). It's one booking that covers two festivals.
3. People see it again and again. Each panel reaches 250+ people a day, and each person sees your ad 15–20 times a month. That repetition helps people remember your offer when they're ready to buy.
4. It costs ₹3,500. One panel at one location for 30 days, with printing and installation included.
Dasara offer ideas that work on a panel
Keep it short. People see your panel from a few steps away, so one offer, one line, one number works best.
- Ayudha Puja service offer (car service centres, bike workshops, electronics repair): "Ayudha Puja special: free check-up with every service this week."
- Festive look packages (salons, beauty brands): "Dasara glow: festive facial + styling, book on WhatsApp."
- New-beginnings offers (coaching, gyms, real estate): Vijayadashami is traditionally seen as an auspicious day to start something new. "Start on Vijayadashami: joining fee waived."
- Festive menu or sweets pre-orders (restaurants, cafés, sweet shops): "Pre-order your Dasara sweets, delivered at home."
Tip: design the poster so it still works after the festival. Use a headline like "Festive offers this season" with the Dasara line as a sub-line. Your panel then carries straight into Diwali without reprinting.
