Ganga Mahotsav 2012


Nov 25 – Nov 29 2012

Dev Deepavali celebrated 15days subsequent to Diwali, brings in the festive mood once again by lighting up the houses on the full moon day and refreshing the settled minds with more joy and heavenly bliss.



Ganga is revered as one of the most holy rivers in India, Ganga Mata gives hope to those who belong to her, and I felt a special sense of attachment and association with her when I stood by the banks.  

Diyas all around Ganga, lit my fire, it brought down a glorious image of the Almighty which promised a good light all through my life. 

For the stretch of 5days the festival portrayed a prolific atmosphere of music and art performances. Surrounded with all sweetness and light of the Benares People I was with my bells on. All I could say is the 5days ceremony is just amazing and I was filled with full of joys of the spring.

I was privileged to take bath in the banks of Ganga during the Mahotsav days because it is believed that the Gods from Heaven would come down during these days to take bath in the Ganges.

I had the time of my Life, Varanasi the cultural capital of India is a blessed destination for the Indians, You will feast your eyes on during these days of Ganga Mahotsav.
