A Private Midnight Aarti with the Head Priest on the Sacred Ganges
The fire that touches the Ganga at midnight does not burn—it awakens.
Kashi by Candlelight is not a spiritual experience. It is an initiation into the ancient silence that lies beneath the noise of Varanasi. While the world watches the Ganga Aarti from crowded ghats, this journey leads you through a hidden doorway—into the secret sanctum of the head priest himself.
Under moonlight and flame, with only the river and the gods as witnesses, you’ll partake in a midnight ritual rarely granted even to royalty. No cameras. No crowds. Only devotion, incense, chants, and the ancestral breath of the holiest city on Earth.
From walking deserted alleys guided by temple torchbearers, to ritual ablutions with river-heated water, this is a passage back into the undisturbed spirit of Kashi.
Highlights Include:
Midnight Ganga Aarti.
Ritual purification and guided symbolism of fire, water, and ash.
Silent boat ride.
Stay at an ancestral haveli on the riverbank, restored with traditional craftsmanship and spiritual artifacts.
Private darshan at an ancient temple.
Satvik dinner thali crafted using Vedic food principles.
A hand-written scroll of your name in Devanagari.
Some prayers are heard. Others are witnessed in complete stillness.
Kashi by Candlelight is not a visit—it is a vow returned across lifetimes.
