Dev Diwali in Varanasi (Kashi) is renowned, as it is primarily celebrated to mark the joyous occasion of Lord Shiva slaying the demon Tripurasura. This sacred festival is observed annually on Kartik Purnima—exactly 15 days after Diwali—with its most magnificent celebrations taking place in Varanasi (Kashi), the cultural capital of Uttar Pradesh.
People travel not only from across India but also from abroad to witness this event, which has now gained worldwide fame.
The main mythological and religious reasons for celebrating Dev Diwali are given below, step by step:

The Slaying of Tripurasura (Tripurari Purnima).
According to Indian mythology, a mighty demon named Tripurasura had wreaked havoc across the three worlds—Earth, the heavens, and the netherworld—using his powers and had driven the gods out of their abodes. Responding to the prayers of the gods, Lord Shiva slew Tripurasura on the day of Kartik Purnima.
Due to this benevolent act, Lord Shiva came to be known as ‘Tripurari,’ and the day itself became known as Tripurari Purnima. This is why Dev Diwali is celebrated annually in Varanasi, India.
The Festival of Lights Celebrated by the Deities in Kashi.
It is said that when the reign of terror of the demon Tripurasura came to an end, all the deities were overjoyed. It is believed that to celebrate Lord Shiva’s victory, the gods and goddesses descended from the heavens to Kashi (Varanasi), the city of Shiva. They celebrated by lighting millions of earthen lamps on the ghats of the River Ganges. Since this was a Diwali celebrated by the deities themselves, it is known as ‘Dev Diwali’ or the ‘Diwali of the Gods’
Other Religious Beliefs in India.
- Deities bathing in the Ganges: It is believed that on this sacred night, all the deities descend to Earth to bathe in the River Ganges. Consequently, taking a holy dip in the Ganges and offering Deepdaan (floating lamps) on this day holds special significance—a tradition that has endured for millennia.
- Manifestation of Goddess Tulsi: According to certain legends, Goddess Tulsi also manifested on this day.
- Awakening of the Deities: On Dev-Uthani Ekadashi , Lord Vishnu and other deities awaken from a four-month slumber; subsequently, on “Kartik Purnima” they visit the banks of the Yamuna or the Ganges to celebrate the festival of lights, Deepotsav.
The Grand Spectacle of the Festival in Kashi, Varanasi
In present-day India, keeping this tradition alive, all the ghats of Varanasi—such as Dashashwamedh Ghat, Assi Ghat, Kedar Ghat, Harishchandra Ghat, and Namo Ghat—are illuminated with hundreds of thousands of earthen lamps. Devotees float lamps on the river—a ritual known as ‘Deepdaan ‘—symbolising the victory of good over evil and light over darkness.
