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.

A tourist guide is one who normally possesses an area-specific qualification usually issued and/or recognized by the appropriate authority and a person who guides visitors in the language of their choice and beautifully interprets the cultural and natural heritage of an area.

In this job excellent communication skills is needed by a guide and if you're good at public speaking, and are interested in history and the arts, this could be the ideal job for you. For facts, figures and events you will need to have a good memory

Though any specific entry requirements is not there to get into this work, but many employers would ask for GCSE passes, particularly in English and Math. To develop the skills you would need there are courses available in tourist guiding that could help you.

Guided tours could include :-

  • Tours for special interest groups
  • sightseeing tours
  • Themed walks.

Tour Manager / Tour Director :-
One who on behalf of the tour operator manages and supervises the itinerary, ensuring the program is carried out as described in the tour operator’s literature and sold to the traveler/consumer and who gives local practical information.

Tour escort :-
One who is acting as the representative of a tour operator providing basic assistance to the travelers.

Note :- unless the tour managers have the proper requirements or legal right depending on the region, they are not trained or licensed to work in specific areas and also tour managers may or may not be tourist guides as well.

What is a Guided Tour?
An area, conducted by a tourist guide or tour of a specified length covering cited elements of the cultural or natural heritage of a city is the guided tour.

Who is a guide?
A person who leads travelers or tourists through unknown or unfamiliar locations is what a guide is. He is a person who leads others to more abstract goals such as knowledge or wisdom

Explorers in the past habitually hired guides venturing into territory unknown by their own people. If you need any information about the attractions' natural and cultural significance of a particular place then there are tour guides who lead visitors through tourist attractions and give all the necessary information’s as required. Travelers who do not speak the local language for them these guides often act as interpreters. For human tour guides automated systems like audio tours are sometimes substituted. To lead tourist groups tour operators often hire guides.
