Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his happiness by
sharing pictures of Deepotsav in Uttar Pradesh’s temple town Ayodhya and termed
the celebrations as “amazing, supernatural and unforgettable”.
PM Modi wrote on the microblogging site X, “Amazing,
supernatural and unforgettable! The whole country is becoming illuminated with
the grand festival of lights of Ayodhya city illuminated with millions of
lamps. The energy emanating from this is spreading new zeal and enthusiasm
throughout India.”
“I wish that Lord Shri Ram does well for all the
countrymen and becomes the inspiration for all my family members. Jai Siya Ram!”
he added.
Prior to that, PM Modi visited Lepcha in Himachal
Pradesh to celebrate Diwali with the security personnel.
On Saturday, on the eve of Diwali, Ayodhya set a new
world record by illuminating more than 22 lakh diyas (earthen lamps) across the
51 ghats of Ram Ki Paidi along the Saryu river in the city.
Notably, this year, 6.47 lakh more diyas were
illuminated than the 2022 ‘deepotsav’ event.
As many as 25,000 volunteers were deployed by the
Uttar Pradesh Government to implement the entire event, which was led by Chief
Minister Yogi Adityanath.
