Watch the world-famous Maha Ganga Aarti from the comfort of a boat at Dashashwamedh Ghat. The ultimate spiritual view in Varanasi.
The Dev Diwali Ganga Aarti is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. On this day, the scale of the Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat is magnified tenfold, with 21 priests and grand fire shows. However, the crowd on the steps is so dense that seeing anything is nearly impossible. A boat booked through VisitKashi Travel Company places you directly in front of the platform, giving you a front-row, VIP seat to the divine rituals.
If you are a photographer or a spiritual seeker, being on a boat is essential. You can capture the grand reflections of the 100,000+ diyas and the synchronised movements of the priests. We ensure our boats are positioned in the best technical spots before the Aarti starts at 6:30 PM. VisitKashi, being the most trusted local travel company, provides experienced boatmen who know exactly where to moor for the best angles.
For the best Ganga Aarti experience, we recommend these specific boat categories:
The wide deck of the Bajra is perfect for capturing stable photos of the Aarti.
View the Aarti from the air-conditioned deck with panoramic glass windows.
With over 2500+ happy guests served, VisitKashi understands the logistics of the river during chaos. We ensure your boat departs from Ravidas Ghat on time so you are accurately positioned at Dashashwamedh Ghat well before the Aarti begins. Trust the local experts for your spiritual journey.
