Ayodhya is adorned with festive decorations as it eagerly anticipates the celebration of Diwali. In a remarkable achievement, the sacred city recently established a new Guinness World Record by illuminating more than 22.23 lakh ‘Diyas’ (earthen lamps) during the ‘Deepotsav 2023’ festival. This surpasses its own previous record of 15.76 lakh Diyas lit the previous year on Diwali. The enthusiasm and dedication displayed by the temple town in breaking its own record reflect the deep significance of the festival in Ayodhya.
