Deepotsav Ayodhya

On the occasion of the sixth edition of Deepotsav total of 17 lakh diyas were lit up by around 19,000 volunteers across 37 ghats of Ram Ki Paidi. However, final figures, as mandated by the Guinness Book of World Records, only included diyas that remained lit for five minutes or more. Besides, all the diyas had to be lit within the mandated 40 minutes.  

A team of Guinness Book of World Records that reached Ayodhya on Sunday, completed the counting of more than 15 lakh lamps lit up on the banks of the Saryu river in Ayodhya. They were lit one by one amid chants of ‘Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram’ as soon as the PM launched the festival.
