Dev Diwali, also known as Dev Deepawali, is a significant festival celebrated on the full moon day (Kartik Purnima) in the Hindu month of Kartik (October-November). It is known as the “Diwali of the Gods” and is primarily celebrated in the holy city of Varanasi. The ghats of the Ganges are lit up with thousands of earthen lamps, creating a mesmerizing sight as devotees offer prayers to the gods. This festival symbolizes the victory of Lord Shiva over the demon Tripurasura, making it a celebration of good over evil.
Hindu legend holds that Dev Diwali celebrates the day the gods descended to the world to honor Lord Shiva’s triumph over the monster Tripurasura. Said to have happened on the Kartik Purnima, this celebration has been observed as Dev Diwali, mostly in Varanasi, where it has great cultural and spiritual value.
Devotees say that on this day, during the Kartik Purnima, dipping oneself in the sacred Ganges river cleanses their spirit and atones for sins. Lighting diyas along Varanasi’s ghats is a custom symbolic of greeting the gods to the earth. Vedic chants, traditional music, and great processions accompany the festival.
Dev Diwali celebrates culture as much as it is a religious occasion. To see the amazing show of lights on the ghats, thousands of pilgrims swarm Varanasi. The Ganga Aarti, a spiritual ceremony honoring the river Ganges—whose great importance in Hinduism—also marks the occasion.
