Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deepotsav 2025 is poised to take Ayodhya’s grandeur to new historic heights. This year, the city of Lord Shri Ram will not only shine with the light of millions of diyas but will also witness a record-breaking grand Aarti of Maa Saryu on the banks of the sacred river. Guided by the Chief Minister, this joint effort of the administration and social organizations will stand as a magnificent confluence of devotion, culture, and social harmony.
Last year, 1,151 devotees performed the collective Saryu Aarti, earning Ayodhya a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. This time, the event will be organized on twice that scale, marking a new chapter in Ayodhya’s spiritual glory and collective devotion.
The Aarti, jointly organized by the district administration and the Municipal Corporation, will be held on October 19 at 5:00 p.m. The site has been divided into 11 zones, with arrangements for 200 participants in each zone, stretching from Nayaghat to Laxman Ghat.
Mayor Mahant Girishpati Tripathi has ensured meticulous preparations, emphasizing that the event will reflect Ayodhya’s timeless traditions and the inclusive spirit of the Yogi government, with participation from every section of society.
The Deepdan ceremony, held on October 17 at 3:00 p.m., marked the completion of preparations, followed by a full rehearsal of the Aarti to ensure perfect coordination of formations, Vedic chants, and the lighting of lamps.
An atmosphere of devotion and excitement now envelops Ayodhya. Inspired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, this event will transcend mere religious ritual, embodying the spirit of “Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat.” When the holy Saryu glows with the light of 2,100 lamps, the sight will symbolize the unity of spirituality, culture, and womanhood, radiating Ayodhya’s divine message across the world.
