This year, on November 4th, 5th, and 6th, join us for an extraordinary celebration with our exclusive boat riding packages. Picture yourself gliding along the sacred Ganges River, surrounded by the glow of thousands of diyas (lamps) lighting up the ghats. This guide will walk you through the wonders of Dev Diwali and our special boat riding offer.
What is Dev Diwali?
Dev Diwali, often referred to as the "Diwali of the Gods," is celebrated on the full moon night of Kartik, which usually falls in October or November. On this night, it is believed that the gods journey to Earth and bathe in the holy waters of the Ganges.
Last year, over 1 million diyas were lit across the ghats, creating a breathtaking spectacle for attendees. But Dev Diwali is not solely about the visuals; it’s a time for spiritual reflection and connection. Locals and visitors engage in prayers and rituals, sharing in the joy and significance of this auspicious occasion.
The Allure of Varanasi During Dev Diwali
Varanasi, one of the world's oldest living cities, becomes a captivating hub of spirituality and festivity during Dev Diwali. The air fills with the fragrance of incense, temple bells chime, and the chants of devotees resonate throughout the city.
As night falls, the ghats light up with thousands of floating diyas, leaving a whimsical ambiance that is unforgettable. The enchanting view of the illuminated ghats against the night sky is so magical that many attendees claim it brings them peace and clarity.
