Ayodhya Deepotsav Sets Two Guinness Records

Ayodhya, the historic birthplace of Lord Ram, set two Guinness World Records during the Deepotsav celebrations, marking the first Diwali after the consecration of the Ram Temple. Over 25 lakh diyas were lit along the Saryu River, surpassing last year's count, and 1,121 vedacharyas performed the Sarayu aarti simultaneously. This event, involving around 30,000 volunteers, showcased the Uttar Pradesh government's commitment under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to honor Ayodhya's cultural heritage. The celebrations were highlighted by a drone-coordinated diya lighting and a laser show, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. Additionally, the festival saw the participation of prominent figures including Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Deputy Chief Ministers. The event further solidified Ayodhya's global recognition as a cultural and religious hub, following years of anticipation for the temple's inauguration.
