“The video shows a real flight announcement made to highlight the significance of Varanasi’s Dev Deepavali on the occasion of Karthika Purnima.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not feature a real flight announcement. The aerial visuals of Varanasi’s Dev Deepavali were originally captured by Hyderabad–based digital content creator and photographer Anvesh Patel using a drone and posted on his Instagram handle on 03 November 2025. He frequently shares similar aerial footage paired with pilot audio.
