It is believed that to celebrate this festival, the gods descend from heaven in invisible form on the holy Ganga ghats of Kashi and pave the way for the salvation of the devotees participating in the Maha Aarti. This festival is a special part of the ancient culture of Kashi. The description of Dev Diwali is also found in Shiv Purana that when in the month of Kartik, a demon named Tripurasur started torturing the gods and started killing them, then Lord Vishnu killed this cruel demon on this day and the gods celebrated Diwali.
