Dev Diwali Significance
As mentioned before, Dev Diwali celebrations signify the day that Lord Shiva defeated the evil demon Tripurasur. According to folklore, Tarakasura had three sons – Tarakaksha, Vidyunmali and Kamalaksha. They sought blessings from Lord Brahma by performing intense penance. Impressed by their devotion, Lord Brahma appeared. However, he did not fulfill their wish of becoming immortal. Instead, Lord Brahma blessed them that they would not meet their end unless all three of them with the same single arrow. Because of this blessing, the trio caused massive destruction in the three civilisations. Lord Shiva put an end to this by killing them with a single arrow.
Devotees take a holy dip in the Ganges and light earthen Diyas. The streets of Varanasi light up with earthen diyas on this day. Many people often travel to the holy city to celebrate this day. We hope that this Dev Diwali brings an end to all the evil in this world. Happy Dev Diwali 2021!
