The city of Lord Ram, Ayodhya, is ready to witness the grandest-ever Deepotsav today to celebrate the first Diwali after the consecration of Ramlala at the newly constructed Ram Temple.

The Uttar Pradesh government will aim for the Guinness World Record by lighting more than 25 lakh diyas on Deepotsav today at 55 ghats of Ayodhya, including the Ram Ki Paidi. CM Yogi Adityanath, Union Minister for Culture & Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, and several other ministers of UP government will grace the event.

The Uttar Pradesh government will today aim to create a new world record by lighting more than 25 lakh lamps.

A total of 28 lakh lamps have been arranged at the Ghats of Holy Saryu by the 30 thousand volunteers to make a new world record. A team of 30 people led by Guinness World Records team consultant and the counting committee members of the university have already counted the



lamps decorated on 55 ghats.

In this year’s Deepotsav, another world record will be attempted. It will be of 1,100 people performing the largest aarti together on the ghats of Saryu. Apart from this, special eco-friendly lamps will illuminate the Ram temple.
