'Diwali' is the most sacred festival of the Hindus. Like the houses & streets, the Ghats on the river Ganges are also decorated during this festival (which falls in the month of Oct/Nov). Boats floating over the river are decorated with small lamps called "Diyas". Witnessing the reflections of this lightings in the river is a rare chance.
