Over 25 lakh diyas lit up Ayodhya on Deepotsav

New Delhi:

The grand Deepostav celebrations in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya saw over 25 lakh earthen lamps being lit together – a new world record. Over 28 lakh diyas (lamps) were lit on the banks of the Sarayu river, presenting a magnificent golden glow when viewed from above.

The organisers had planned to light up at least 25 lakh diyas, but exceeded the target by a huge margin to create a new world record. 

The Deepotsav showcased the spiritual, traditional, and cultural essence of the holy city, with performances by artists from six countries — Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Indonesia — along with a Ram Leela presentation from Uttarakhand. Additionally, various artists from different states performed at the event.
