Ganga Mahotsav is a five-day cultural festival that celebrates the spiritual, cultural, and artistic richness of Varanasi.
Held every year just before Dev Deepawali, this vibrant festival showcases the timeless heritage of Banaras through classical music performances, folk dances, art exhibitions, traditional boat races, and a colorful display of crafts and cuisine.
Set against the sacred backdrop of the Ganga River, Ganga Mahotsav brings together some of India’s finest musicians, dancers, artisans, and chefs.
The festival culminates in the grand spectacle of Dev Deepawali, when the ghats are illuminated with millions of lamps.
Visitors can experience the magic of Banaras — from soulful ragas filling the night air to boats gliding gracefully across the river, to local artisans displaying centuries-old crafts.
Ganga Mahotsav is not just an event; it’s a journey through the living traditions, flavors, and spirit of the city that has stood as the cultural heart of India for millennia.
