350 New Free Icons: Diwali, Indian Daily Life, AI, Travel and Emoji Faces

Diwali falls on Sunday 8 November 2026, and for the next three weeks every shop, app and agency in India will be redesigning a banner, a sale page or a greeting. Most icon sets have a Christmas tree and a gift box and stop there. So the HubToolify icon library has just added 350 new icons in five new categories, starting with the one a Diwali design actually needs: diyas, rangoli, sky lanterns, toran, sparklers and laddoos.

The other four categories cover what generic icon sets usually miss as well: Indian daily life (auto-rickshaws, chai, the pressure cooker, the rupee), AI and robotics, travel and hotels, and a full set of emoji-style faces. That took the library from 2,908 to 3,258 icons on launch day, and it has kept growing since (3,777 as of 20 October 2026).

Every one of them is free to use in Line, Solid and Duotone, in personal and commercial projects, with no sign-up needed to copy or download a free style. Like everything in the library, they are original artwork drawn for HubToolify on the same 24-pixel grid, not collected from other icon sets.

What's new: five categories, 350 icons

To be clear about the numbers: 273 of the new icons are new drawings. The other 77 are status versions of an existing drawing, such as a wedding card with a tick, a plus or a pencil, or a boarding pass with a clock. These are the variants an interface needs for "confirmed", "added" or "delayed" states, and they are counted separately so the total isn't inflated.

Diwali and festival icons (76)

The Festivals & Culture category is drawn around the objects people light, hang, play, wear and give, in five groups:

• Lights & Decor: the diya, a brass lamp, rangoli, a toran, string lights, a sky lantern, a star lantern, a paper lantern, a Ramadan lantern, a wreath and a bauble.
• Festivals: a firecracker, a sparkler, a ground spinner, a firework fountain and a firework rocket for Diwali; gulal and a pichkari for Holi; a rakhi for Raksha Bandhan; dahi handi for Janmashtami; a kite spool for Makar Sankranti; a kalash and incense; and a Christmas tree, Santa hat, stocking, Easter egg, witch hat and carnival mask for the rest of the calendar.
• Wedding: a mandap, a henna hand, a flower garland, jhumka, wedding rings, a wedding cake and a wedding card with eight RSVP states.
• Music & Dance: dandiya, a dhol, a tabla, a sitar, a shehnai, a flute, ghungroo and a disco ball.
• Sweets & Gifts: a laddoo, jalebi, a chocolate box, a mooncake, a gingerbread man and a gift hamper with 13 status versions, which is handy for a Diwali gifting shop's order screens.

One deliberate choice: the category draws objects only. There are no deities, religious figures, scripture or flags in it, so you can use any of these icons on a sale banner or in an app without putting a sacred image on a discount sticker.

For a Diwali page, a set that reads well together is the diya, rangoli, sky lantern, sparkler, toran and laddoo. If you want full illustrated stickers rather than interface icons, the Diwali sticker pack has those.

Indian daily life icons (67)

The Indian Daily Life category exists because "transport" in most icon sets means a sedan and a bus, and "food" means a burger. These are the things an Indian app actually shows:

• Getting around: an auto-rickshaw, an e-rickshaw, a cycle rickshaw, a cargo rickshaw, a local train, a bullock cart, a bulb horn and a motorcycle helmet.
• Chai & food: a chai glass, a kulhad, a samosa, pani puri, a dosa, kulfi, a mango, sugarcane, a coconut drink, a tiffin box, a masala box, a pressure cooker, a tawa and a chakla-belan.
• Money & documents: a rupee note with seven states, a rupee coin, a rupee price tag, a rupee receipt, mobile payment, a QR code standee for shop counters, a gullak, a bank passbook and an electricity meter.
• Street & market: a chai stall, a food cart, a vegetable basket, a hanging scale, a milk can, a milk packet and a shop shutter with open and closing-time states.
• Home & daily: a ceiling fan, an air cooler, a matka, a water purifier, a water tank, a gas stove, a bucket and mug, an immersion rod, a mosquito bat, a mosquito coil, a switch board, a charpai, a carrom board, cricket stumps, a kurta, a hand pump and a village well.

They suit delivery and grocery apps, fintech and payment screens, local business websites, and school presentations alike.

AI and robotics icons (77)

Almost every product now has an "AI" button, and most icon sets give you one sparkle for it. The AI & Robotics category gives each AI feature its own icon:

• AI features: AI sparkle, AI chat, AI search, AI writer, AI summary, AI image, AI video, AI voice, AI music, AI vision, AI website, AI analytics, AI recommendations, regenerate, AI safety and even AI hallucination.
• Under the hood: a prompt library, a brain circuit, an AI model, model training, fine-tuning, inference, a vector embedding, a knowledge graph, object detection and a dataset with 12 states.
• Assistants: an AI agent, an AI assistant, a voice assistant, a chatbot widget, auto-reply, an AI call and AI mail.
• Automation: an automation flow, a workflow trigger, an automation schedule, an RPA bot, an IoT sensor, lidar, an assembly line and a self-driving car.
• Robots: a humanoid robot, a robot dog, a delivery robot, a robot vacuum, a robot gripper, a robot welder, a rover, a camera drone and a happy robot.

None of them is a company's logo. If you need an actual brand mark, the free brand icons are kept in a separate tab.

Travel and hotel icons (77)

Winter holidays and the wedding season are the busiest travel weeks of the Indian year, which is when travel and hotel booking pages get redesigned. The Travel & Hotel category covers the whole trip:

• Trip planning: an itinerary, a trip route, travel documents, travel insurance, a travel adapter, a guidebook, a hiking backpack, binoculars, a passport stamp and world travel.
• Airport: a boarding pass and a mobile boarding pass, a departures board, a gate sign, a check-in kiosk, airport security, a baggage tag, a carry-on bag, a duty-free bag, a plane window, a neck pillow and a sleep mask.
• Hotel: a check-in desk, a hotel key card, a room key, a hotel door, a do-not-disturb door hanger, room service, a bathrobe, a towel stack and a resort.
• Holiday: a cruise ship, a campervan, a sightseeing bus, a chairlift, a mountain trail, a camping lantern, a hammock, a sun lounger, sunscreen, a snorkel mask, a sandcastle, a tour guide and a souvenir globe, among others.
• Bookings: a flight booking and a hotel booking, each with confirmed, cancelled, search and add states, plus a nightly rate, an overnight stay and a reserved sign.

Emoji-style faces (53)

The Emotions & Faces category is 53 hand-drawn faces for reactions, ratings, feedback forms and chat interfaces: joy, party, star eyes, hearts, mind blown, melting, thinking, shush, eye roll, upside down, pleading, sob, rage and more. There are characters too: a chef, a ninja, a pirate, a king, a ghost, an alien and a jack-o'-lantern just in time for Halloween on 31 October.

They look like emoji, but they are not copies of any platform's emoji artwork, so they are safe to use in a product. Because they are icons rather than pictures, they take your interface's colour and stroke width, which emoji images cannot do.

Free and Pro: which styles you get

Every icon in the library, including the new 350, comes in 16 styles (as of October 2026), and the icon count is the same in every one:

• Free: Line, Solid and Duotone. You can copy the SVG, download an SVG or PNG, change the colour, size and stroke, and use it commercially, without signing up. The free ZIP download on the icon library includes the new icons too.
• Pro: Sharp Line, Sharp Solid and Sharp Duotone; Imprint, Pixel, Slab, Mellow, Jass and Draw; Lineal, Duo and Flat in colour; and rendered 3D, upright or italic. The Diwali sheet above shows Duo, Flat and 3D next to the free styles.

If you are designing a festive banner, the free Duotone in a warm orange gets you most of the way. When you want the colour done for you, Duo and Flat give each icon its own colour, and 3D is closest to the glossy look of a festival ad. See HubToolify Pro for the full list.

How to use the new icons in a Diwali design

1. Find the icon. Open the icon explorer and search for diya, rangoli or lantern, or pick Festivals & Culture from the categories.
2. Pick a style and colour. On the icon's page, choose Line, Solid or Duotone and set a colour that matches your brand. Saffron, marigold and deep maroon all work well for Diwali.
3. Copy or download. Copy the SVG straight into your website's code, or download a PNG for a slide, a poster or a social post.
4. Combine a few. In Icon Studio you can place a diya, a sparkler and a toran on one canvas, add a background and see the result before you commit to it. Editing in Icon Studio is free; exporting a design from it is part of Pro.
5. Need a whole set? Pro's Icon Pack Builder gathers the icons a project needs into one pack, in one style and colour, as SVGs, PNGs, a sprite and React components.

A few ideas: a row of six Line icons under a "Diwali Sale" headline, a Duotone diya as a cart badge, a laddoo or gift hamper next to a "Gifting" category, or sparklers marking the offer end date. Keep it to one style per page; mixing Line and Solid in the same row is what makes a design look assembled from different kits. For a greeting rather than a web page, the companion guide shows how to make a Diwali business post with stickers.

Frequently asked questions

Are the new icons free for commercial use?

Yes. The Line, Solid and Duotone versions of every icon in the library can be used in personal and commercial projects: websites, apps, ads, print and merchandise. Attribution is appreciated but not required. What the licence does not allow is reselling the icons as an icon set of their own. The full terms are in the licence that comes with the download.

Do the festival icons include gods or religious symbols?

No. The Festivals & Culture category is objects only: lamps, lanterns, decorations, sweets, instruments and wedding items. That keeps them appropriate for commercial use on sale banners and in apps.

Can I change the colour of the icons?

Yes. Every free style takes any colour on the icon's page, and in code an SVG uses currentColor, so it picks up the text colour around it. Duo and Flat (Pro) come with each icon's own colour already set, and you can change that too.

Is there a Diwali icon pack I can download in one go?

The free ZIP on the icon library page includes every icon in Line, Solid and Duotone, Diwali icons included. To build a smaller pack with only the icons you choose, in one colour, use the Pro Icon Pack Builder.

There is also a separate 50-icon Diwali set, drawn as one collection in Line, Flat, Solid and Special Lineal Color. Five of its icons are free to download; the rest of the set comes with Pro.

An icon I need is missing. Can I ask for it?

Yes. Request an icon and vote for the ones other people have asked for.
