VARANASI DEV DEEPAWALI
ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
Known as the “Diwali of the Gods,” Dev Deepawali is celebrated on Kartik Purnima, when Kashi comes alive with thousands of diyas illuminating the sacred Ganga Ghats.
On this sacred night, the ancient Ghats of Kashi become a living celebration of faith, tradition and devotion, with the Ganga at its heart and the entire city transformed by light.
