I always wanted to visit, internalize the spiritual magic and it happened. Thanks to WOW for making my dream come true. It was absolutely the way I had dreamt it would be! During this celestial demonstration, every nook and corner of the city came alive with bright colours and glowing diyas/lamps. It looked as though the stars had come to unite with the Earth, making the city all the more alluring! People in Banaras believe that on the day of Dev Deepawali, the Gods descended to Benares to bathe in the Ganga. The Ganga aarti of Benares is performed on the banks of the river in the evening, a breathtaking sight and an incredible exposure!!! Thank you WOW for the great itinerary and the group for the cooperation and affectionate bonding. Riti was an amazing and extra special buddy, she was omnipresent to give the girls a helping hand and shepherd us safely through all events. If Dev Diwali is on your mind...just do it with WOW ...
