Dev Deepawali, known as the “Diwali of the Gods,” is celebrated with great devotion on Kartik Purnima. The ghats of Varanasi, Haridwar, and Rishikesh shine with thousands of diyas. Devotees take holy dips in the Ganga, perform aarti, and offer prayers to honor the deities.
The festival marks the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. In Varanasi, ghats like Dashashwamedh, Assi, and Raj Ghat turn into glowing landscapes. Priests chant hymns, while devotees float lamps on the Ganga’s shimmering waters.
PM Modi’s message captures the essence of the festival unity, faith, and spiritual illumination for all.
