Dev Deepawali 2026 booking is now open in Varanasi. Celebrated on the sacred occasion of Kartik Purnima, Dev Deepawali is one of the most spectacular festivals in India. In 2026, Dev Deepawali will be celebrated on 24 November 2026, when the ghats of Varanasi will shine with millions of earthen lamps, creating a breathtaking view along the banks of the holy River Ganga.
Every year, lakhs of devotees, pilgrims, photographers, and tourists visit Kashi to witness the divine beauty of illuminated ghats, grand Ganga Aarti, cultural performances, and Deepdaan ceremonies. Due to the huge crowd during the festival, boat rides, cruises, hotels, and tour packages are booked months in advance.
Shivakashi Travels has officially started bookings for Dev Deepawali 2026, offering complete travel solutions for individuals, families, groups, and senior citizens.
Dev Deepawali, also known as Dev Diwali or Tripurari Purnima, is celebrated fifteen days after Diwali on Kartik Purnima. According to Hindu tradition, Lord Shiva defeated the demon Tripurasura on this day, and the gods descended to Kashi to celebrate the victory. To welcome the gods, devotees light millions of diyas across the ghats and temples of Varanasi.
The entire riverfront from Assi Ghat to Raj Ghat transforms into a sea of lights, making Dev Deepawali the most magical night in Varanasi.
