The entire Ghat was lit up with thousands of lamps lit on the Ghats.

    The doors of the temples remained closed before Dev Deepawali.

    On the other hand, due to the lunar eclipse this evening, the doors of all the temples in the city should remain closed. Usually the doors of the temples were closed an hour before the eclipse and after the eclipse ended, the temple was opened for the devotees after washing the temple and bathing the Deities.

    Why is Dev Deepawali celebrated?

    According to the scriptures, on this day Lord Shiva killed the demon Tripurasura. In the joy of killing Tripurasur, the deities lit diyas in Kashi. This is the reason why Dev Diwali is celebrated every year on Kartik Purnima. Because this Diwali was celebrated by the gods, hence it is called Dev Diwali. Dev Deepawali is being celebrated in Patna. This festival is being celebrated in many Ghats and all the temples of Patna.
