On Diwali eve, Ayodhya surpassed its own record by lighting over 22 lakh diyas across 51 ghats during the 'Deepotsav' celebration. The tradition, initiated in 2017 under the Yogi Adityanath government, started with 51,000 diyas and has since grown exponentially, setting Guinness World Records. This year, UP CM Yogi Adityanath and Governor Anandiben Patel participated in symbolic rituals, including pulling a chariot to signify Lord Ram's return. The seventh Deepotsav in Ayodhya witnessed a spectacular display, with the previous record of 15.76 lakh lit diyas in 2022 now exceeded.
