A glimpse of Dev Diwali on the Ganga.

Every year, the ghats of Kashi come alive with thousands of diyas, music, prayers and reflections shimmering across the river. There is no better way to take it all in than from the Ganga itself.

A few moments from our Dev Diwali boat rides last year.

Walking in Banaras hits different ✨

According to the traditions, Lord Shiv got married to Goddess Parvati on Mahashivratri and stayed back at Parvati’s maternal home for a few days. Two weeks later, it was on Rangbhari Ekadashi that Mahadev brought her to his city Kashi for the first time after his marriage. Rangbhari Ekadashi is celebrated to commemorate the reunion of Shiv and Shakti. Since it was the first visit of Goddess Parvati, all the Gods joined in the celebration and showered petals and colours from heaven on the newly married couple. The ceremony of Gauna (a tradition practised in UP and Bihar when the bride returns to her maternal home after marriage) with all its customs starts a few days before the Ekadashi. The bridegroom arrives at the house of the Mahant (the chief priest) of Shri Kashi Vishwanath temple a day prior to the Ekadashi.

“Varanasi illumines truth and reveals reality. It does not bring new wonders into the scope of vision but enables one to see what is already there. Where this eternal light intersects the earth, it is known as Kashi.” - Diana L. Eck
