Your name, burning on the ghats of Kashi.
Kartik Purnima — the night the gods come down to the ghats
One night. Eighty-four ghats.
One of the lamps can be yours.
Light my lamp — ₹10One diya.
Two offerings.
On Dev Deepawali night, a priest lights an earthen lamp carrying your name on a ghat in Kashi — the first offering, in fire. When the festival ends, the same ten rupees puts gloves on the steps and lifts the night’s remains off the river — the second offering, in work. Less than a cup of chai, for both.
Light my lamp — ₹10One coin.
Three duties.
The lamp
A hand-thrown earthen diya, oil, a wick, and a priest to light it — placed on the ghat with your name beside the flame.
The witness
The night is streamed live. Within three days, a clip of your own diya burning reaches your phone — proof, not a promise.
The morning
When Kashi wakes, the same coin returns to the river: gloves, sacks, hands on the steps — and a published account of what was lifted.
Lamps, priest, stream, cleanup — one pool, split by need, accounted in public after the festival.
Put a name on the river.
It takes a minute.

A diya with your name
A hand-thrown clay lamp, filled with oil, a wick set, your name beside it. On the night, a priest lights it and a hand places it on the ghat — it is not printed on a screen, it burns.
