Leisure Hotels Group Invites Devotees To Experience Dev Deepawali In Varanasi

New Delhi, 21^st October 2022: Leisure Hotels Group (LHG), a leading experiential luxury resort chain with twenty seven properties in its portfolio across four states is offering an ethereal experience of Dev Deepawali and other significant religious extended Diwali rituals & festivities at The Bedzzz in Varanasi on 7th November.

This heavenly itinerary especially curated by The Bedzzz, Varanasi is further enhanced with a series of spiritual & ethereal festive celebrations for pilgrims, leisure travellers, couples & friends. Dev Deepawali marks Lord Shiva’s victory over demon Tripurasur and coincides 15 days after Diwali is celebrated. It is observed on the day of Kartik Purnima (the full moon day for the Hindus). To experience the grandeur of Dev Diwali, the hotel will extend guided visit to perform rituals at Ghats on Kartik Poornima namely ‘kartik snan’ (taking a bath) and ‘Deepdaan’ (offering flowers and light clay lamps) on the banks of the River Ganga followed by an evening Aarti. During the festival, every corner of the city comes alive with bright colours and glowing Diyas. 

“Varanasi is also known for its kaleidoscope of Indian civilization and culture of India. Every year pilgrims, travellers and tourists from all across the globe flock the city during this period to get a glimpse of India’s diverse culture. Although both Diwali and Dev Deepawali are festival of lights but are extremely different in rituals. As the sun sets, each staircase of the Ghats and every single temple of the city is beautifully lit with thousands of Diyas. It is an experience worth cherishing! We want our guests to cherish festive memories of the sacred city of their lifetimes, hence we’ve curated a special celebratory itinerary ahead of Diwali & Dev Deepawali at The Bedzzz in Varanasi”.
