PM Modi will light a diya (lamp) to kick off the celebrations of Dev Deepawali, a festival of light held in Kartik Purnima, which will be followed by an 11 lakh lighting diyas on both sides of the Ganges River.
During the visit, the Prime Minister will visit the site of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple Corridor Project under construction to review its progress. You will also see the sound and light show at the Sarnath archaeological site, which was inaugurated by him earlier this month.
