The celebrations have been grand and showcased India's cultural vibrancy. Millions of lamps illuminate Varanasi's Ghats for Dev Deepavali, known as 'the Diwali of the Gods'. Kartik Purnima, the full moon day of the Hindu month of Kartika, coincides with the festival. The ghats of Kashi looked celestial, illuminated with 21 lakh diyas.
