Why the Bajra Boat Is Our Fullest Dev Diwali Experience
The Bajra Boat — also known as the Maharaja Boat — is a traditional decorated wooden boat, shared with up to 40 people out of a total boat capacity of 90. It's the only package in our 2026 line-up with VIP upper-deck seating and a complete Banaras local food spread included.
Unlike our motor boats, the Bajra Boat does not carry the Dashashwamedh Ghat parking restriction — it's built to get you closer to the main Ganga Aarti action while the diyas, laser show and fire show play out across all 84 ghats.
