Ayodhya sets new world record with over 25 lakh diyas lit during grand deepotsav celebrations
New Delhi: Ayodhya’s Deepotsav celebrations set a remarkable world record as more than 25 lakh earthen lamps illuminated the banks of the Sarayu river, creating a mesmerizing golden glow across the holy city. Originally aiming to light over 28 lakh diyas, organizers succeeded in lighting exactly 25,12,585 diyas, marking a new global achievement.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the spectacular display, calling it "amazing, incomparable, and unimaginable," and extended congratulations to the people of Ayodhya for their devotion. "This Jyotiparva, illuminating the sacred birthplace of Ram Lalla, is filled with emotion. This radiance from Ayodhya Dham will fill every household across the country with renewed energy," the Prime Minister shared online.
The Deepotsav, showcasing Ayodhya’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage, featured performances by artists from Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Indonesia, alongside a Ram Leela from Uttarakhand. Performers from various Indian states added further color to the celebrations.
“This is the first Deepotsav following the consecration of the Ram Mandir, and every effort was made to bring grandeur and divinity to the celebrations,” shared UP Minister Jaiveer Singh.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath led an 'aarti' at the event and took part in a ceremonial chariot pull. As a highlight of the occasion, 18 elaborate tableaux were created by Saket Mahavidyalaya, depicting scenes from Tulsidas’s Ramcharitmanas, including Bal Kand, Ayodhya Kand, and Sundar Kand, among others.
