Dev Deepawali in Banaras

Dev Deepawali in Kashi

Dev Deepawali in Varanasi: A Celestial Manifestation in the City of Light

Dev Deepawali or Dev Deepawali in Varanasi is celebrated on Kartik Poornima, the full moon of the Hindu month of Kartik, fifteen days after Diwali. Dev Deepawali is not standalone, in itself. It is celebrated on the last day of Ganga Mahotsav, which begins on Prabodhini Ekadashi (11th day of the Lunar month of Kartik) and ends in Dev Deepawali which will fall on November 15 this year. It is interesting to note that Dev Deepawali in Varanasi also coincides with Guru Nanak Jayanti and Jain Light Festival.

Dev Deepawali Date 2025
November 05, 2025

Not to be confused with Deepawali (or Diwali), Dev Deepawali or Dev Diwali in Varanasi is a festival celebrated every year on the occasion of Kartik Poornima. This happens to be 15 days after Diwali. This year, Dev Deepawali in Varanasi will be on November 05, 2025.

For most travellers and spiritual seekers alike, Varanasi is a dream destination. People from all over the world come and stay in this city for days, seeking spiritual peace, meditating on the banks of the Holy River Ganga and paying several visits to the temples in what is popularly known as the city of temples. Dev Deepawali in Varanasi or Dev Diwali is that time of the year when Varanasi truly seems like an abode of the Gods, not just of temples. Often known as the City of Light, Dev Deepawali is probably a manifestation of this very epithet.

Pind Daan and Shradha Package

"भाद्रपद मास की अमावस्या को महालया अमावस्या कहा जाता है। इस पूरे पक्ष को पितृपक्ष कहा जाता है, जब दिवंगत पूर्वजों के प्रति कृतज्ञता व्यक्त की जाती है और श्राद्ध आदि कर्म किए जाते हैं। इसे सर्वपितृ अमावस्या भी कहते हैं।"

According to Hindu beliefs, Pind Daan is a sacred ritual performed to express gratitude to one’s ancestors. It is believed that no endeavor succeeds without the blessings of forefathers, and offering Pind Daan invokes their blessings for prosperity and peace.

Performing this ritual as described in ancient texts helps the departed souls attain Moksha (salvation) and brings peace to the family.

What is Pind Daan?

Hindus believe that even after death, the soul lingers in the material world due to emotional bonds and attachments. This creates suffering for the soul. Through Pind Daan, these souls find release and peace, allowing them to move toward the ultimate world of liberation. This ritual is considered a sacred duty for every devout Hindu.

Where is Pind Daan performed?

It can be performed on the banks of the holy Ganges or other sacred places in India. Gaya in Bihar is one of the most popular locations.

Benefits of Pind Daan

Performing Pind Daan is said to remove obstacles in life and bring sudden positive changes. Many have observed improvements in their personal and spiritual lives after performing this ritual.

Why is Pind Daan important?

As per the Vedas, no work can reach its full potential without the blessings of ancestors. Pind Daan is the most effective way to help restless souls attain peace, which in turn blesses the entire family.

How does Pind Daan benefit me?

Along with removing obstacles, this ritual fulfills the three main debts (Rin) in life:

Pitra Rin (debt to ancestors)
Dev Rin (debt to deities)
Rishi Rin (debt to sages)

Pitra Rin involves:

Antyeshti Sanskar (funeral rites)
Asthi Visarjan (immersing ashes in the Ganges)
Shraddh (memorial feast)
Brahmin Bhoj (offering food to priests)

Dev Rin includes:

Vedic rituals
Rudrabhishek
Yagya (holy offerings)

Rishi Rin includes:

Seva and Satkar (service and respect)
Daan (charity)

While Dev Rin and Rishi Rin can be fulfilled in daily life, Pitra Rin is fulfilled through Pind Daan, which grants peace and prosperity to the entire family.
