Visit Ganga ghats and Celebrate Dev deepawali
We reached varanasi around 2 pm because roads are jam, My relative lives in Banaras so I did not have to take the hotel, but to see Dev Diwali, you should book the hotel in advance because there is a lot of crowd on Dev Diwali. Large number of foreigners & peoples from other parts of the country also reach to watch this festival. We quickly kept our luggage and got ready to go ghat
On Dev Deepawali, devotees take a holy dip in Ganga on the day of Kartik Purnima. "Ganga Aarti" is organized on ghats by various organization and light earthen lamps or Diya's in the evening. The steps of all the Ghats on the riverfront of the Ganges are lit with millions of earthen lamps. Not only the Ghats of Ganges but also all temples of Banaras are lit with millions of Diya's.
You can book the boat and roam the Ganga here and enjoy this wonderful view. Seeing the lighten earthen lamps, it seems that just as all the gods have descended on the land of Varanasi today.

Different types of cultural programs are organized on the ghats.
