Brief Overview of Dev Diwali in Varanasi

Varanasi is also known as Kashi or Banaras and it is one of the oldest living cities in the world. Located on the banks of the holy River Ganga, it is famous for its ghats, temples and deep-rooted traditions. Among the many festivals celebrated in this sacred city, Dev Diwali is the most spectacular. It is also called the “Diwali of the Gods” and celebrated on Kartika Purnima, about fifteen days after Diwali. It is believed to be the day when the gods themselves come down to the Ganges to take a holy dip. On this evening, the ghats of Varanasi are decorated with millions of diyas that create a golden glow across the river. Pilgrims and locals gather to take part in rituals, offer prayers and watch cultural programs of music and dance. The sight of countless lamps floating on the river is truly magical and unforgettable. More than just a festival, Dev Diwali in Varanasi is a spiritual experience that shows the deep connection between faith, light and the sacred river Ganga in the world’s oldest living city.
