Diwali, the biggest festival of the year, is being celebrated in the country with full enthusiasm. Lord Rama’s comeback to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile is celebrated as the festival of light symbolizing the victory of the divine over evil. No wonder the Diwali celebration in Ayodhya especially the one branded by Yogi Adityanath after he became the chief minister of the state in 2017 carries a special message and meaning along with its grandeur and divinity. Ayodhya is all set to make a record of lighting up more than 17 lakh lamps in the Diwali celebrations of 2022.
Informing about this, the government of Uttar Pradesh tweeted from its official Twitter handle, “Shri Ayodhya Ji is ready for ‘Bhavya-Divya Deepotsav-2022’. Let’s witness Deepotsav-2022, equipped with innumerable lamps of faith. Bow down to Lord Shri Ram, worship Lord Shri Ram. Divine Ayodhya. Modern Ayodhya.”

The video shared in this tweet shows the preparations for the festive celebrations which include Diwali at the Sharayu riverfront. Besides lighting up the lamps, a light and music show depicting the story of Lord Rama is also one of the key attractions. Local earthen lamp makers have been busy in the last few weeks delivering huge demands.

Ayodhya’s walls speak about Ram. Ayodhya’s roads lead to the Ram Mandir. Ayodhya’s outskirts development is facilitating Chaurasi Kos parikrama path. Ram Leela on the occasion of Navratri and Dussehra is famous. With Yogi Adityanath’s vision for the Diwali celebrations, it is now established that Ayodhya breathes Ram and so does India as Ayodhya’s Deepotsav is the festive celebration discussed the most on social media.
