Modi suggested celebrating January 22 as Diwali across India by stating, "Instead, light a diya at home on January 22. That day should be Diwali across India." The Prime Minister also announced an 8-day cleanliness drive starting January 14, stating, "Lord Ram belongs to the entire country, and now that he is coming, no temple, no matter how small or big, should remain dirty." Ayodhya residents were urged to make the city the cleanest in the country to accommodate future visitors.
