Ayodhya is all set to hold a grand deepotsav on the
eve of Diwali, with over 24 lakh diyas at 51 ghats set to illuminate the city, on
Saturday.
As part of the celebration, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Path
is also being decorated with different types of flowers for Deepotsav.
Decked heavily with around 24 lakh earthen lamps, the
Uttar Pradesh government is also
planning to create a Guinness World Record.
People from different places, including tribal people
from the Pakur district of Jharkhand, will witness the grand Deepotsav.
Around 48 tribal people from the Pakur district of
Jharkhand have arrived in Ayodhya to celebrate Deepotsav on Saturday.
The people of this tribe reside in the mountainous
region and have come to Ayodhya barefooted to attend the grand Deepotsav.
The Jharkhand Pradesh Shri Ram Janaki Charitable
Service Trust has sent them here to participate in the Deep Utsav.
Tomorrow, they will light the lamp in the presence of
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in their traditional attire.
