When Heaven Descends Upon the Ghats
Celebrated exactly fifteen days after Diwali on the full moon night of Kartik Purnima, Dev Deepawali commemorates Lord Shiva's cosmic victory over the demon Tripurasura (hence known as Tripurotsav).
While land-side streets become impassable due to millions of pilgrims, the sacred river offers the ultimate vantage point. From the water, the amphitheater of palaces, temples, and stone stairs appears like an endless necklace of living fire reflected on the dark waters.
