Dev Deepawali: Varanasi’s Biggest Festival Of Lights

Varanasi is popularly known as the ‘spiritual capital of India’. As the world’s oldest continually inhabited city, the winding streets of Varanasi give off an old-world charm infused with a spiritual vibe. One of the twelve holiest jyotirlingas—Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga or Varanasi Vishwanath Mandir is situated along the banks of the holy river Ganges. The temple attracts millions of Shiva devotees throughout the year. Also known as Banaras or Kashi, this sacred city is believed to be the abode of Lord Shiva.

In recent years, Varanasi’s tourism and pilgrimage has grown exponentially. Be it Kashi Vishwanath Darshan, Dev Deepavali celebration, or shopping for Banarasi silk sarees, Varanasi offers you a soulful escape and a cultural extravaganza like no other city.

One of the prominent features of the city is a celebration of the festival of Dev Deepavali—a festival celebrated on a full moon day of Kartik Purnima. The ‘Diwali of the Gods’ or ‘Dev Deepavali’ is celebrated every year in Varanasi after the 15 days of the Diwali celebration. It’s a five-day long festival and the first two days kick off all the Dev Deepavali traditions. 

Significance Of Dev Deepawali 

According to Hindu scriptures, Tripurasura—a demon was slayed by Lord Shiva on this day. Hence, the festival marks the victory of Lord Shiva over the demon Tripurasura. The festival is also celebrated as ‘Tripura Purnima Snan’. It is believed that on this day, Devta’s came to Earth to bathe in the holy river Ganges. 

What’s intriguing about the Dev Deepavali festival is that millions of earthen lamps and diyas are lit on the holy ghats of Banaras and in the entire Varanasi city. The lighting of lamps on the festival of Dev Deepavali in Varanasi makes the city sparkle like no other. Devotees light the oil lamps and diyas in their homes as well to seek blessings from Goddess Ganges and Lord Shiva. The floating oil lamps in the holy river Ganges and the streets sparkling with diyas add a distinct radiance to the city.

 In Varanasi, the lighting of oil lamps is referred to as ‘Deepdan.’ Varanasi city’s spiritual landscape becomes vibrant and even more hallowed with millions of illuminated diyas during the festival of Dev Deepavali.
