Ayodhya, the city of Lord Rama, shone brightly on Sunday as over 26 lakh diyas lit up the city during Deepotsav celebrations. The event set two Guinness World Records — for lighting 26,17,215 diyas and for the most people performing diya rotation together. Organised by the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department and the District Administration, the celebration showcased Ayodhya’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath received the Guinness certificates. The Sarayu River glowed like a river of light, marking another historic Diwali for the holy city and drawing visitors from across India.
