Varanasi, one of India's holiest cities, comes alive during Dev Deepawali in November. The ghats are illuminated with thousands of lamps, creating a magical atmosphere. Pilgrims gather to bathe in the sacred Ganges River at dawn, while the evening aarti ceremonies fill the air with chants and the scent of incense. With an average temperature of 29°C, it's a comfortable time to explore the city's spiritual and cultural heritage.
