This year’s Diwali holds special significance, particularly for the city of Ayodhya, which has been the centre of attention following the inauguration of the Ram Temple in January. On the eve of Diwali, Ayodhya was aglow with festivities as it set two new Guinness World Records. The first record was achieved with 1,121 people performing aarti simultaneously, while the second saw an impressive 25 lakh diyas (oil lamps) illuminated throughout the city. Images of this stunning display flooded social media
“This is the first Deepawali after Maryada Purushottam Lord Ram has been enthroned in his grand temple. This unique beauty of Shri Ram Lalla’s temple in Ayodhya is going to overwhelm everyone. After 500 years, this holy moment has come after countless sacrifices and continuous sacrifice and penance of Ram devotees. It is our good fortune that we all have become witnesses of this historic occasion,” he said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah also took to social media to extend his greetings, tweeting, “Heartiest greetings to all countrymen on the festival of lights, Diwali. May this festival of lights bring new energy, health, and prosperity in the lives of all of you.”
