The grand Dev Deepawali of Kashi will be celebrated on Friday and all the 84 ghats will be illuminated with 17 lakh diyas (earthen lamps). This time the diyas decorating the ghats will be dedicated to women empowerment, and tributes will also be paid to the iconic late industrialist Ratan Tata on the ghats of Kashi.

Apart from this, laser shows and fireworks will also be organised at Ganga Dwar and Chet Singh Ghat. Elaborate arrangements have also been made for the world famous Ganga Aarti at the Dashashwamedh Ghat.
