Illuminating Kashi: Dev Deepawali Set to Dazzle with Lamps and Laser Show

The city of Kashi is gearing up for a grand celebration of Dev Deepawali on November 5, with the Uttar Pradesh government overseeing an event that promises to light up the ghats and streets with millions of lamps.

The state tourism department, in collaboration with the Mahotsav Samiti, has arranged over 1 million earthen lamps, with distribution already underway. This initiative comes with designated sectors along the Ganga river banks, each managed by nodal officers to ensure smooth event execution.

The Dev Deepawali event will commence with traditional conch shell blowings, representing Lord Shiva's divine presence. Highlights include a 3D projection and laser show depicting Kashi's cultural stories, and an eight-minute laser show to depict the fusion of tradition and modernity, concluding with green fireworks at the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Dham.
