Every year, Varanasi glows with thousands of diyas shimmering along the banks of the Ganga during Dev Deepawali, also known as the “Festival of Lights of the Gods.” In 2025, this divine celebration will once again turn the ghats of Kashi into a celestial spectacle, attracting travelers from across India and abroad.
If you’re planning to experience this once-in-a-lifetime event, booking your Dev Deepawali 2025 package in advance is the best way to ensure a seamless, magical experience. Inditirth offers exclusive packages that combine boat rides for Ganga Aarti, comfortable stays near prime ghats, and guided local tours that let you witness Varanasi’s spiritual charm up close.
What Makes Dev Deepawali 2025 So Special?
Dev Deepawali falls on the full moon day (Kartik Purnima), marking the victory of Lord Shiva over demon Tripurasura. It’s believed that on this day, gods descend to earth to take a holy dip in the Ganges.
During the evening, every step of the ghats — from Assi Ghat to Rajghat — is illuminated with earthen lamps. The mesmerizing Ganga Aarti is performed by priests in synchronized movements with chants, conch shells, and bells. Seeing this divine ceremony from a boat on the Ganges is one of the most surreal experiences you can have in India.
Why Choose a Dev Diwali Boat Booking?
The best way to experience the Dev Deepawali celebration is from the river itself. A Dev Diwali boat booking allows you to view the illuminated ghats, reflection of thousands of diyas on the water, and the grand aarti from an unobstructed angle.
