For instance Diwali every year at my home always makes me wonder how other parts of the country celebrate this festival. Here are some crème de la crème destinations to experience Diwali in India.
Explore the best:
Varanasi
Varanasi or Kashi is one of the best places to be in during Diwali. The city is not only known for the holy rituals but also the great enthusiasm for celebrating every festival with great joy and energy. On the other hand, taking a dip into the Ganga river purifies your mind and soul.
The ethnic markets are exceptionally admirable. Meanwhile, a boat ride during the sunset can boast up your visit. The shinny river water and the Ganga ghats lit up with thousands of diyas are worth a sight. Plan to stay longer and not miss the Dev Deepavali (Diwali of the Gods). Consequently, that is the time when the Ganga Mahotsav festival is conducted.
Amritsar
Amritsar houses one of the most expensive and exotic shrines in the world – The Golden Temple. Most importantly, Diwali is the tie to visit this place because it the time when the Sikh community celebrates Bandi Chhor Diwas. The entire city along with the Golden temple is illuminated with millions of lights. Subsequently is also the flowering season, which clearly means you can explore the mustard farms as well. Don’t forget to recreate that DDLJ scene. Just kidding!
Goa
It’s strange Goa popped up in this list. But, the party capital of the country is also equally inclined towards the cultural part as well. Moreover, every goans’ house is sparkled up with the lights of Diwali. Diwali is commenced after Narak Chaturthi and is celebrated with great enthusiasm. Enormous sculptures of Narkasur are constructed and are burned in the early hours of the morning. The state looks completely different and visiting Goa during Diwali is an utterly different escapade.
Udaipur
Udaipur is one of the most exotic destinations to be across during Diwali. The place is known for the humongous palaces and the rich culture. The sounds of local folk music can be heard in the entire city. Celebrations start right from the first day that is Dhanteras and is followed irrationally till the end of five days of Diwali. You can shop for all those Rajasthani gifts from the local markets. Meanwhile, don’t miss out on the finger-licking Marwari cuisine.
Madurai
Diwali in the south is somewhat different than what we usually celebrate. To clarify, the festival is celebrated one day prior to the actual date of Diwali or what we celebrate in the north. However, there is nothing less to it. The entire city glows up with the lights and fireworks. In addition, visiting the Meenakshi temple might just add up.
That is all you need to know about the destinations to travel to during this Diwali. Many great places like Kolkata, Delhi, and Jammu also great Diwali experiences. So don’t think long, carry your bags and step outside as there are many new destinations you can explore this Diwali.
Happy Travel!
