Earthen lamps being stocked up for Deepotsav 2022.
Volunteers from Uttar Pradesh’s Avadh University are trying to break the previous record of lighting the most diyas (earthen lamps) on Diwali in Ayodhya by lighting over 16 lakh lamps at the Ram ki Paidi ghats in Ayodhya. This year’s Diwali in Ayodhya promises to be the grandest as it is the first ‘Deepotsav’ (festival of lamps) of the second term of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be present at the event.
