The Dev Deepavali was magnificently observed last year as people of Varanasi do every year. But this year, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was accompanied by legendary film actor Anil Kapoor who added more charm to the Ghat of Varanasi. The principal attraction at the ghats was the earthen lamps that were lit in lakhs and multicoloured lights and the boats that carried passengers from one end of ghat to the other.
In the early morning of Dev Deepavali day more than thousands of people inclusive of tourists who belong different corners of the country assembled and remarked how the holy Ganga is worshipped and the earthen lamps that were lit at the Dashashwamedh Ghat, Varanasi.
