Varanasi - 1999, the Akash Deep resolution was expanded and nationalised in memory of the martyrs immortalised by the victory of Kargil war by Ganga Seva Nidhi. The organization lights the Akash Deep throughout the month of Kartik in the memory of the immortal brave warriors of India.
This year’s Akash Deep will conclude on the occasion of Kartik Purnima (November 27, 2023), where the immortal warriors of India will be honoured with 'Bhagirath Shaurya Samman'.
For centuries, there has been a tradition in Kashi of lighting sky lamps on the Ganga ghats in memory of our ancestors and to illuminate the path of their journey to heaven. There is a belief in the stories related to the sky lamp that in the month of Kartik, in the memory of the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the Mahabharata war, Bhishma had dedicated them to the lamp owners.
Along with this, in the celebration of 75 years of India's independence, freedom and independence, Ganga Seva Nidhi is paying tribute to the memories of India's past through this lamp. In 1999, the Kargil war inspired Ganga Seva Nidhi to pay tribute to the memory of all the brave warriors from the past till today by lighting a sky lamp and this sentiment started Kashi's centuries-old tradition of sky lamp.
It is believed that there is no season like the month of Kartik, there is no era like Satyayug, there is no scripture like the Vedas and there is no other pilgrimage like the Ganga. And this sky lamp burning in the month of Kartik on the banks of the Ganga is a symbol of this.
On the occasion of Dev-Diwali festival, the martyrs are honoured with the Bhagirath Shaurya Samman. The Akash Deep programme started on October 29, 2023 at 5.00 pm at Dashashwamedh Ghat. The Akash Deep program will conclude on the occasion of Kartik Purnima (November 27, 2023), Bhagirath Shaurya Samman will be honoured in the grand Dev-Diwali Mahotsav dedicated to spirituality and nationalism organized by the organization.
Apart from this, Rs 51,000 will also be given to the martyr's family by the Nidhi family. The programme started with Ganpati Vandana and patriotic songs. The members of Ganga Seva Nidhi paid their respects to the immortal heroes and welcomed the guests.
