The Spirit of Diwali in Rishikesh
During Diwali, Rishikesh transforms into a glowing riverside town filled with diyas, chants, and smiles. The ghats near Triveni come alive as locals and visitors gather to light lamps and offer prayers. The reflection of hundreds of tiny flames dancing on the river’s surface is a sight that stays in your memory long after.
Even the streets turn festive, from colourful lights and flower decorations to the aroma of sweets like jalebi and gulab jamun. For those seeking peace, the combination of spirituality and natural beauty makes Rishikesh one of the best places to celebrate Diwali in North India.
