Dev Diwali 2025: When millions of lamps will shine on the ghats of Kashi, know when to donate lamps..

Dev Diwali Deepdan Timing: Celebrated every year on Kartik Purnima, Dev Diwali is called "Deepawali of the Gods" in Varanasi, the city of the Ganges. It is believed that on this day, the gods themselves descend to earth, bathe in the Ganges, and worship Lord Shiva. This year, Dev Deepawali will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. This year, the festival brings many divine coincidences, including Siddhi Yoga, Shivavas Yoga, and the unique combination of Ashwini-Bharani Nakshatras.

This is why this day is considered auspicious in every respect. This year, the auspicious time for Dev Deepawali will last only 2 hours and 35 minutes, during which Aarti and Deepdan will have special significance. When millions of lamps are lit on the ghats of Kashi, the scene becomes not just a symbol of light, but also of faith and spiritual power. The lamps flickering on the waves of the Ganges fill this night with divinity, and this experience becomes a lifelong memory for every devotee. Bhopal-based astrologer and Vastu consultant Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma provides more information on this topic.

Siddhi Yoga: A Blessing of Success in Every Task
The Siddhi Yoga formed on the day of Dev Deepawali is considered extremely auspicious. This yoga will remain in effect until 11:28 am. According to astrology, all tasks undertaken during this period are successful. Worshipping Lord Shiva, Vishnu, and Lakshmi is considered especially significant during this yoga. Those who donate lamps, chant, meditate, or donate during this period experience multiplied merits. This yoga boosts self-confidence and provides mental strength. It is believed that prayers offered during this time yield quick results and infuse new energy into life.

The Confluence of the Full Moon and Ashwini-Bharani Nakshatras
This year, the full moon date of Dev Deepawali will last until 6:48 pm. This time is highly auspicious because it coincides with the Ashwini and Bharani constellations. The Ashwini constellation symbolizes health and new beginnings, while the Bharani constellation represents patience and the power of creation. The coming together of these two establishes a balance between body and mind. Bathing, donating, meditating, and lighting lamps during this period are considered extremely beneficial. Doing so not only calms the mind but also increases positivity in life.

Position of the Sun and Moon
This year, the Sun will be in Libra and the Moon in Aries. This position is considered a symbol of balance, courage, and self-confidence. This auspicious combination of the Sun and Moon infuses new energy within a person. When lamps are lit in the evening, they illuminate not only the ghats of Kashi but also the hearts of devotees. Due to the influence of Shivavas Yoga and Siddhi Yoga, this year's lamp donation is considered to yield double the benefits.

Significance and Worship Method of Dev Deepawali
Dev Deepawali begins with a bath in the Ganga. Devotees bathe in the Ganga or any other holy river before sunrise on this day. Afterward, worship of Lord Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha, and Mother Ganga is performed. In the evening, lamps are lit in homes, temples, and ghats. These lamps not only symbolize light, but also convey a message of devotion and gratitude to God. Many people observe a fast on this day, donate, and serve the needy. It is believed that donating a single lamp on the night of Dev Deepawali brings the same merit as lighting a thousand lamps.

This Year's Auspicious Time
In 2025, the auspicious time for Dev Deepawali will be from 5:15 pm to 7:50 pm. This is the time when the gods are believed to be present on earth. Performing aarti, lighting lamps, and praying during this time yields double the benefits. Those who meditate or chant during this period will experience good fortune, wealth, and mental peace in their lives.
