Dev Deepawali- Maharaja Boat Experience

24 November 2026 | Dev Deepawali, Kashi

2:30 PM — Meet & Begin the Evening
We’ll meet you at the designated meeting point around 2:30 PM. Once everyone arrives, we’ll welcome you, hand over your event bands and walk together towards the ghat with our team.

3:00–3:30 PM — Board the Maharaja Boat
Step aboard the Maharaja Boat and settle into your dedicated seating. We’ll give you a warm traditional welcome with a Tilak and Banarasi Paan before the evening officially begins.

Deep Daan — A Moment on the Ganga
Before we set into the evening, take part in Deep Daan on the Ganga. Light your diya, make a wish and watch it become part of the hundreds of glowing lamps floating across the river.

Settle In & Sail Through Kashi
As the Maharaja Boat begins to sail, sit back and take in the view. We’ll cruise past Kashi’s famous ghats, beautifully illuminated for Dev Deepawali, giving you a chance to experience the city from the river.

The 84 Ghats of Kashi
Watch the entire riverfront come alive as we sail past the illuminated ghats. From the smaller, quieter stretches to the grand celebrations, every turn offers a different view of Kashi.

Snacks, Thandai & Banarasi Flavours
Enjoy specially arranged snacks and beverages onboard, along with refreshing Thandai and the unmistakable taste of Banarasi Paan. Take your time, meet fellow travellers and enjoy the evening at an easy pace.

Music, Conversations & Festive Kashi
With music playing around you, this is your time to relax, talk, take photographs and simply enjoy being on the Ganga while the celebrations build around you.

Ganga Aarti from the River
As we reach the Aarti area, experience the grandeur of Ganga Aarti from the river. Watch the lamps, hear the chants and see the ghats glowing around you, away from the crowds on the riverbank.

Laser & Light Show
As the evening gets darker, watch Kashi transform once again with the Laser & Light Show, adding another layer to the already spectacular riverfront.

The Magic of Dev Deepawali
By now, the ghats will be completely lit up with thousands of diyas. This is the moment to slow down, put your phone away for a while and simply take in Kashi at its most magical.

Fireworks Over the Ganga
And then comes the grand finale. Watch the sky light up with Dev Deepawali fireworks while the entire riverfront glows below. From the boat, you’ll have a front-row view of the celebration.

A Few Surprises Along the Way
The evening won’t be only about what’s on the itinerary. I’ve kept a few little surprises along the way to make the experience feel personal and different from a regular Dev Deepawali boat ride.

Photography & Memories
Our team will also capture moments throughout the evening, so you can stay present and enjoy the experience while taking home memories of your time on the Ganga.

— Return
After spending amazing time on the boat, we’ll make our way back to the designated drop-off point, bringing the evening to a beautiful close.
