Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Ram, witnessed an extraordinary celebration during this year’s Deepotsav (Festival of Lights), creating history by lighting an astounding 2.8 million oil lamps (diyas) along the banks of the sacred Sarayu River. The magnificent display not only illuminated the entire city but also earned two Guinness World Records, making it a moment of pride for India.
The first world record was achieved for lighting the highest number of earthen lamps simultaneously at a single location, while the second record was for the longest uninterrupted illumination. Thousands of volunteers and participants from various communities came together to light these diyas, symbolizing unity, peace, and the triumph of good over evil.
Dignitaries, including state officials, spiritual leaders, and international guests, attended the grand event. The celebrations included a vibrant cultural showcase, fireworks, and a mesmerizing laser show, making it an unforgettable experience for locals and visitors alike.
This dazzling Deepotsav not only honored tradition but also highlighted Ayodhya’s spiritual and historical significance, setting a global benchmark in festive celebrations.
