Dev Diwali Boat Booking - 2026

As we sail along the Ganges, you’ll be treated to the breathtaking sight of all 84 ghats illuminated by countless flickering diyas. The peaceful glow creates a divine and enchanting atmosphere, making this stretch of the journey truly heavenly. As you soak in the view, enjoy a taste of Banarasi snacks onboard, adding a flavorful touch to the already magical experience. Each bite, paired with the beautiful surroundings, enhances your connection to the festival’s spirit.

Our next stop is Chet Singh Fort, where you'll be treated to a mesmerizing laser light show. Watch as vibrant beams of light dance across the historic fort, bringing the ancient walls to life in a spectacular display. This fusion of tradition and technology adds an exciting dimension to your Dev Diwali experience, lighting up the night in a way only Varanasi can.

The boat continues toward the revered Kashi Vishwanath Temple, where you’ll pause to witness a stunning projection show on the temple's grand doors. The illuminated display captures the sacred essence of the temple and adds a divine aura to the night. As you watch, surrounded by the glowing diyas on the water, you’ll feel deeply connected to the spiritual energy of Dev Deepawali.

We then arrive at Manikarnika Ghat, one of the most profound sites in Varanasi, where life and death come together in a way that’s both beautiful and sacred. Here, death is celebrated as a passage to moksha (liberation), and the eternal flames of the pyres light up the night. Witnessing this part of Banaras, where death is revered and honored, is a deeply spiritual experience, offering a glimpse into the city’s unique perspective on life and the afterlife

Next, we pass the famous Ratneshwar Mahadev Temple, often called the “Leaning Temple of Varanasi.” This ancient structure, tilted at a remarkable angle, adds a unique and mysterious charm to the journey. The sight of this historic temple, half-submerged in the Ganga, against the backdrop of shimmering diyas, is a stunning reminder of Varanasi's timeless beauty.

Next, we reach Panchganga Ghat, where five sacred rivers are believed to merge. This ancient and spiritually significant ghat has been a center for meditation and devotion for centuries. As you sail by, the historical weight and peaceful ambiance of this ghat will add yet another layer of depth to your Dev Deepawali experience.

As we continue, the night sky above the Ganga bursts with vibrant fireworks, lighting up both sides of the river in a spectacular display. The contrast of the lively fireworks and the peaceful glow of the diya-lit ghats creates a magical, awe-inspiring moment. The sounds, colors, and lights of Dev Diwali fill the night with joy and celebration.

During the journey, we’ll make a stop at one of the beautifully lit ghats, giving you a chance to step off the boat and capture the magic of Dev Diwali up close. With the backdrop of thousands of flickering diyas and the spiritual energy of the festival all around, this is the perfect opportunity to take stunning photos that will forever remind you of this divine experience. Whether it's the glowing river, the illuminated ghats, or the vibrant atmosphere, every shot will be a reflection of the magical night.

As the boat returns to Pandey Ghat, the night’s divine energy lingers with you. From the glowing ghats to the sacred moments at Manikarnika and Panchganga, and the beauty of Ratneshwar Mahadev, this Dev Diwali boat ride offers an unforgettable experience that will make you want to return to Varanasi again and again
