In November there is a celebration of the Dev Deepavali („the Diwali of the Gods” or „Festival of Lights of the Gods”. Festival is owing to the significance and the growing socio-cultural popularity. It is celebrated in the city of Varanasi in region of Uttar Pradesh, India. The steps of all the ghats on the riverfront of the Ganges River, from Ravidas Ghat at the southern end to Rajghat, are lit with more than a million earthen lamps (diyas) in honour of Ganga, the Ganges river, and its presiding goddess. Mythologically, the gods are believed to descend to Earth to bathe in the Ganges on this day.
