Dev Deepawali in Varanasi: 1 million diyas, laser show, eco-friendly fireworks

India Nov 02, 2025

On November 5, Varanasi is going all out for Dev Deepawali—imagine over a million diyas lighting up the ghats, plus a 3D laser show and eco-friendly fireworks.
The city's riverbanks are split into 20 zones to keep things organized and safe as crowds gather to watch this epic blend of tradition and tech.

Dev Deepawali: Where ancient meets modern

This isn't just another festival—Dev Deepawali fuses ancient rituals with modern flair.
From the dramatic shankhnaad kickoff to the "Kashi Katha" laser show (think Shiva, Buddha, Kabir, Tulsidas—all in one night), it's a visual tribute to Varanasi's spiritual legacy.
And with green fireworks wrapping things up at Kashi Vishwanath Dham, it's all about celebrating culture while keeping things clean and green.
