Varanasi: Preparations for the grand celebration of the holy festival of Diwali have started in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. On this occasion, the Ganga ghats of Kashi will sparkle with the light of more than 11 lakh earthen lamps. Every year, special plans are being made by the administrative system for Diwali, which becomes the center of attraction for devotees from India and abroad.
According to the information received, 'Ganga Mahotsav' will be organized at Namo Ghat from 20th to 23rd November. While Dev Diwali will be celebrated on 24th November on the day of Kartak Purnima.
This time, for the first time, two-way lane system will be implemented for the operation of boats in Ganga. Under this system, different routes will be decided for the movement of boats, so that crowd control and security arrangements can become more organized.
Keeping in mind the planning of Dev Diwali, the security arrangements will be divided into 10 zones and 21 sectors. A grand laser show will be organized at Chet Singh Ghat on the evening of 24th November. Ganga Maha Aarti will be organized at Dashashwamedh Ghat. Apart from this, eco-friendly green fireworks will also be set off in front of Kashi Vishwanath Dham.
Thus, Kashini Dev Diwali is expected to be grand and attractive this year too with lighting of more than 11 lakh lamps, Ganga Aarti, laser show and cultural programs.
