What Is Dev Diwali in Varanasi?

Dev Diwali, also known as Dev Deepawali, is celebrated on Kartik Purnima, fifteen days after Diwali. While Diwali commemorates the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, Dev Diwali is associated with the victory of Lord Shiva over the demon Tripurasura.

According to Hindu tradition, the gods and goddesses descend to Kashi on this auspicious day to celebrate Lord Shiva’s victory. This makes Dev Diwali one of the most important religious festivals in Varanasi.

Important Information –

Most devotees begin lighting diyas on the ghats between 4 PM and 5 PM. We recommend arriving in the old city by 3 PM to avoid traffic and security restrictions.

Due to the large crowds and enhanced security arrangements, some roads near the ghats may be closed. Visitors may need to use the narrow lanes and alleyways of Kashi to reach the boarding point.
