Uttar Pradesh Sets another world record of 1,121 batuks performing aarti

The Uttar Pradesh government achieved the seventh Guinness World Record by lighting more than 25 lakh 12 thousand diyas on Deepotsav yesterday at 55 ghats of Ayodhya, including the Ram Ki Paidi. This year another world record was created, in which 1,121 batuks performed the largest aarti together on the ghats of Saryu. Union Minister for Culture and Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekawat, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, several other cabinet ministers, and a large number of saints graced the event. 

Mr. Yogi said that Deepotsav has not only become a big event for Ayodhya and Uttar Pradesh, but has also become a unique event for the country and the world. He added that this is the first Deepotsav in Ayodhya after the Ram temple inauguration, which is a moment of pride for us all.

Speaking on the occasion, Union Minister



Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said that the perspective of the world towards India has changed. With the pace at which the nation has progressed, the whole world is looking towards India. India’s knowledge, tradition, yoga, Ayurveda, and culture are being recognised in the whole world today. After the establishment of Lord Shri Ram’s temple, India’s good fortune is rising again. 

Today’s Deepotsav is a day of resolution for us that we will make this country the most powerful, prosperous, and capable country in the world. CM Yogi Aditynath said that this year is special and divine for Ayodhya, as the 500-year wait ended this year on January 22 and Lord Ram returned to the newly constructed temple. This is a moment for us to remember those who dedicated their entire lives to the Ram Janmabhoomi movement.
