Devlok - a Dev Deepawali night in Kashi

Experience the extraordinary night of Dev Deepawali from the waters of the Ganga with Uttar Dharohar.

As thousands of diyas illuminate the ghats of Varanasi, witness the city transform into a spectacular celebration of light, devotion, music and heritage. Our curated Dev Deepawali Boat Experience offers an exceptional perspective of the illuminated ghats, Ganga Aarti, laser show and fireworks—all from the river.

Dev Deepawali is one of the busiest nights in Varanasi, with enormous crowds and significant movement restrictions around the ghats. To make your experience comfortable and well-organised, boarding will be from Gaay Ghat, allowing guests to reach the boat with minimal walking and avoid much of the congestion around the central ghats.
