Dev Deepawali in Varanasi: When the Gods Descend

When the Gods Descend to the Ghats

Every year, on the full moon of Kartik, Varanasi comes alive in a spectacle of thousands of diyas.

Known as Dev Deepawali, the festival is believed to be the Diwali of the Gods - when the deities descend to the sacred Ganga Ghats to celebrate.

From the glowing diyas along the river to the grand Ganga Aarti, the entire city transforms into a breathtaking celebration of faith, light and devotion. 🪔✨

Experience the magic of Dev Deepawali in Varanasi - where the Ganga, the ghats and countless lamps come together to create one of India’s most unforgettable spiritual experiences.
