Divine India – Dev Diwali & Ayodhya Yatra

Duration: 4 Days / 3 Nights

Destinations Covered: Varanasi · Ayodhya

Introduction

On Dev Diwali, the gods themselves descend to Earth to witness the sacred Ganga illuminate with millions of diyas. In Varanasi, light merges with devotion, music with mantra, and river with ritual.

Your journey then continues to Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama, where ancient temples, sacred ghats, and the stirring Ram Leela unfold under the night sky. Together, they create a spiritual circuit of jyoti (light), bhakti (devotion), and dharma (eternal duty).
