Bhai Dooj 2026 is Wed Nov 11: a sibling gift box clip, $1.51
Bhai Dooj 2026 is Wednesday, Nov 11, the day after Govardhan Puja. A 480p Wan draft, an 8-second Omni Flash 1.1 final and a caption job cost $1.51 on Sume.
Bhai Dooj 2026 is Wednesday, November 11, and Govardhan Puja is Tuesday, November 10. A sweet shop or gift seller can sell sibling gift boxes with one clip: a 480p Wan 3.0 draft for $0.3125, an 8-second 720p Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 final for $1.00, and a $0.20 caption job, $1.5125 in all on Sume.
Divine Hindu's Bhai Dooj and Govardhan Puja page (read 2026-10-13) puts Diwali's Lakshmi Puja on Sunday, November 8 and Bhai Dooj on Wednesday, November 11. It adds that the Dwitiya tithi starts at 2:00 PM on the 10th and runs to 3:53 PM on the 11th, and that some regional calendars observe Bhai Dooj on the 10th. Say the date your own community uses.
What is the order-by date?
Bhai Dooj gifts often travel to a sibling in another city. If you ship, the clip should lead with your last-ship date, not the festival.
| Date | Day | Event | Use in the clip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun Nov 8 | Sunday | Diwali Lakshmi Puja | Last day for local delivery orders |
| Tue Nov 10 | Tuesday | Govardhan Puja | Pickup only |
| Wed Nov 11 | Wednesday | Bhai Dooj (some calendars Nov 10) | Greeting post |
Why a draft first, then Omni Flash?
Wan 3.0 at 480p is $0.05 per second at list, $0.0625 with Sume's 1.25x margin, so a 5-second motion draft is $0.3125. Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 is $0.10 per second at 720p at list and $0.125 with margin, so 8 seconds is $1.00, with native audio included according to the repo's pricing note. Omni Flash durations run from 3 to 10 seconds. Check the box, the thali and the motion on the cheap draft, then spend the $1.00 once.
Captions use authored cues, which burn text with no speech, at a flat $0.20 for clips up to 60 seconds. Model options are in the Video Router docs.
| Step | Model and setting | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | Wan 3.0, 5 s, 480p, 9:16 | $0.3125 |
| Final | Gemini Omni Flash 1.1, 8 s, 720p, 9:16 | $1.00 |
| Captions | Cues, flat per job | $0.20 |
| Total | $1.5125 |
What should the caption say?
Three short cues are enough: the box name, the price, and the order-by date. A caption job costs $0.20, so if the price changes before Nov 8 you re-burn the text and keep the $1.00 final.
Use your own box photo as the start frame, and leave people out of the shot. A tilak thali with the sweets and a hand-written card gives the clip a clear subject.
- Cue 1 (0-2 s): box name.
- Cue 2 (2-5 s): price and what is inside.
- Cue 3 (5-8 s): "Order by Nov 8 for Bhai Dooj".
What else is on the Diwali calendar?
Bhai Dooj is the last of the five Diwali days covered in the five-day story series. Business buyers can use the corporate gift reminder clips earlier, and the next date after it is Dev Diwali on November 24.
