Ayodhya, Nov 8: Welcoming guests and devotees to Ayodhya Dham for the 10th Deepotsav, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called on households across Uttar Pradesh to join the celebrations by lighting earthen lamps in their courtyards. Describing an earthen diya as an awakening of consciousness rather than a simple vessel, he stated that lighting a single flame naturally dispels darkness.
The Chief Minister highlighted that the sacred city of Ayodhya has been fully decorated for the festival along the banks of the Saryu River. He stated that the golden radiance of millions of lamps reflects a decade-long journey of restoring regional heritage, supporting local artisans, and strengthening public faith.
CM Yogi reaffirmed the state administration’s commitment to inclusive development, drawing parallels between the spirit of Ram Rajya and ongoing efforts to deliver public welfare schemes to individuals at the last rung of society. He noted that the annual Deepotsav has successfully placed Ayodhya’s cultural identity back on the global stage.
The administration has finalized arrangements for the grand evening event, which features record-setting diya lighting, laser shows, and spiritual ceremonies attended by international diplomats and religious leaders.
