Ayodhya's Ram temple to glow and shine with eco-friendly, long-burning lamps on Diwali

Ayodhya is set to host a grand eighth Deepotsav in Ayodhya this year, with preparations underway to make the first Diwali at the newly built Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple. The temple will glow with eco-friendly lamps specially designed to avoid stains and soot, preserving its structure and remaining lit for extended periods.

The celebration also aims to create a world record by lighting 25 to 28 lakh lamps along the banks of River Sarayu. This year, Diwali will be celebrated on October 31.

The overall supervision of



lighting, entrance arch decorations, and thorough cleaning have been entrusted to Ashu Shukla, a retired cop from the Bihar cadre. Devotees will experience a divine sight as the temple is beautifully decorated with flowers and lights.

Environmental protection is also a key focus for this Deepotsav. Special wax lamps will be used to minimise carbon emissions and protect the temple from soot damage. The temple trust aims to make Ayodhya, not just a centre of religion and faith on this Diwali, but also a symbol of cleanliness and environmental consciousness.
