What is Dev Diwali 2025 and Why Is It Celebrated?

Dev Diwali 2025, also known as Dev Deepawali, is one of the grandest and most spiritually uplifting festivals celebrated in Varanasi, the city known as the spiritual heart of India. Falling on 5th November 2025, this festival takes place on the full moon night of Kartik Purnima, exactly fifteen days after the main Diwali festival. What makes Dev Diwali truly special is its deep spiritual meaning—it marks the day when Lord Shiva defeated the demon Tripurasur, freeing the world from darkness and evil. This divine victory is honored every year with devotion, lights, music, and rituals.

On the night of Dev Diwali 2025, Varanasi transforms into a magical land of lights. Over a million oil lamps (diyas) are lit across the ghats of the Ganges, creating a breathtaking sight that reflects devotion and unity. The sacred river looks like a flowing path of light, and the air becomes charged with chants, prayers, and the fragrance of incense. Pilgrims, travelers, and devotees gather in large numbers to witness and participate in this grand celebration. For many, Dev Diwali is not just a festival—it is an emotional and spiritual journey, an opportunity to connect with divine energy in one of the holiest places on Earth.
