Kashi, also known as Varanasi or Banaras, is regarded as the most sacred and ancient city of Sanatan Dharma. It is believed to be the eternal abode of Lord Shiva — a place where life and death both lead to liberation. The very name “Kashi” symbolizes immortality and divine consciousness. Performing Deep Daan (lamp offering) in Kashi during the holy month of Kartik is considered highly auspicious. According to the scriptures, when a devotee lights a lamp on the banks of the Ganga, it is not just a symbol of light — it represents devotion, purity, and divine connection. It is believed that Deep Daan removes the darkness of ignorance, destroys sins, and brings spiritual illumination. On the day of Dev Deepawali, millions of lamps illuminate the ghats of Kashi, turning the city into a celestial realm. It is said that on this day, even the gods descend to the banks of the Ganga to offer lamps to Lord Shiva. Offering Deep Daan at this divine time grants immense merit, prosperity, peace, and ultimately liberation. Kashi is not merely a city; it is the eternal dwelling of Mahadev and the living symbol of the Sanatan tradition. Every act of charity, every prayer, and every ritual performed here yields manifold spiritual results. Thus, Deep Daan in Kashi is not just a ritual — it is a sacred act of devotion that connects the soul directly to the divine light of the universe.
