At dusk, people light up local lamps and candles to drive away the darkness and pray for the light. They have traveled thousands of miles to the Holy River for a pilgrimage to wash away the dirt and get the blessing of God. The Diwali Festival of Varanasi is an important festival in India, when the goddess Lakshmi arrive once a year. She represents wealth, wisdom, and luck, and she is also a symbol of beauty and vitality. （Photo taken in Varanasi）
