Enjoy Dev Diwali in Varanasi with Optima Travels
Dev Deepawali
or Dev Diwali is a very popular festival celebrated annually in the holy city
of Varanasi. It marks the victory of Lord Shiva over Tripurasur, the evil
demon. For this reason, this festival is also called Tripurotsav. It is
observed on Kartik Purnima, a very auspicious day for the Hindus.
On this day,
devotees take a dip in the holy Ganga River and light earthen lights or diyas
at sunset. At dusk, the steps of the riverfront are lit with millions of lights
or diyas. It is a spectacular sight that no one should miss when visiting here.
Apart from the riverfront, the temples of Varanasi are also alit with these
lamps.
If you want
to be part of these festivities on Dev Diwali at Varanasi, you can take a
special Varanasi

Your Dev Diwali Tour begins when you

pre-booked for you. In the evening, you will be taken to the riverfront to
participate in the most important ceremony on the River Ganga and to enjoy the
festival of Dev Diwali.
Ghats
of Varanasi are the centre stage of Dev Diwali festival celebrations. On this
festive occasion, the entire city of Varanasi including its riverfronts boasts
twinkling lights that are really earthen lights shining on the water. At this
time, you can go on a boat ride that will give you a panoramic view of the city
and its various important monuments that are especially lit up. Thousands of
people will bend low towards the river and float their lamps on the waters,
dedicating them to the Gods in accordance with their beliefs and rituals.
This is
followed by Ganga
Aarti , the ceremony on the River Ganga. You can capture this
scene on your camera on this festival and during the Ganga Aarti. Later, drive
back to the hotel and stay overnight here.
Early next
morning, you will be taken for another boat ride so that you can enjoy the
spiritual experience of watching people offering water to the Sun God, Surya. A
visit to the famous riverfronts follows while still on the boat.
After this,
begin your temple tour. You will be taken to various temples
in Varanasi like the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Bharat Mata Temple,
Annapurna Temple, Sankat Mochan Temple, Durga Temple, Kalbhairav Temple, Manas
Mandir, among others. Return to the hotel for breakfast.
