Time: Evening

Organized By: Local authorities, religious organizations, and cultural committees

Dev Deepawali, also known as Dev Diwali or the “Diwali of the Gods,” is one of the most spiritually uplifting festivals celebrated in the sacred city of Varanasi. Observed on the full moon night of the Hindu month of Kartik—15 days after the traditional Diwali—this festival symbolizes the divine descent and victory of gods.

Mythological Significance

Dev Deepawali commemorates Lord Shiva's triumph over the demon Tripurasura, a formidable three-headed demon who had conquered the three worlds and spread terror. According to legend, Lord Shiva destroyed Tripurasura, restoring cosmic balance. In celebration of this divine victory, the gods are believed to have descended to Earth, and Lord Shiva bathed in the holy waters of the Ganges. To welcome the gods, the people of Varanasi lit thousands of diyas (earthen lamps) along the riverbanks, giving birth to the Dev Deepawali tradition.

---

A Night of Divine Illumination

On this sacred evening, Varanasi transforms into a glowing paradise:

• Thousands of diyas light up every ghat, temple, and home, casting a warm, divine radiance.

• Intricate rangoli designs adorn the ghats, creating a festive and colorful ambiance.

• Floating lamps (deepdan) are released onto the Ganges, producing a mesmerizing trail of flickering lights drifting along the holy waters.

• Spiritual processions featuring beautifully adorned idols of deities parade through the city, accompanied by chanting, drumming, and devotion-filled gatherings.

---

 Festivities and Rituals

• Special rituals and prayers are performed at major temples like Kashi Vishwanath and Sankat Mochan.

• Fireworks light up the sky, adding grandeur to the celebrations.

• Cultural performances, bhajans, and spiritual discourses enhance the spiritual fervor.

Why Attend Dev Deepawali?

Dev Deepawali is not just a religious celebration—it’s a spiritual spectacle and a cultural marvel. Witnessing the ghats of Varanasi glowing with thousands of lamps and the Ganges reflecting divine light is an experience beyond words. It’s a celebration of the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and devotion over fear.
