Dev Diwali Date: 24 November 2026
Dev Diwali, also known as Dev Deepawali, is one of the most spectacular festivals celebrated in Varanasi. It takes place fifteen days after Diwali on the auspicious occasion of Kartik Purnima. While Diwali is celebrated by humans, Dev Diwali is believed to be celebrated by the Gods, who descend to the ghats of Varanasi to commemorate Lord Shiva's victory over the demon Tripurasura.
On this divine evening, the entire stretch of the Ganga Ghats is illuminated with millions of earthen lamps (diyas), creating a breathtaking spectacle. Cultural performances, devotional ceremonies, and spiritual celebrations take place across the city, attracting visitors from around the world.
The best way to witness this magnificent event is from the Ganges River. A Dev Diwali boat ride offers panoramic views of the illuminated ghats, grand Ganga Aarti, and cultural festivities, making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
