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.
