Ayodhya is gearing up for a dazzling Deepotsav on October 19, aiming to set a new world record by lighting over 2.6 million diyas along the Saryu river—outshining last year's feat.
Ram Ki Paidi will be the main hotspot, and this year's celebration also includes eco-friendly fireworks for an extra festive vibe.

The whole event is being organized by Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University with Prof. Sant Sharan Mishra at the helm.
Dr. Ranjan Singh's team is mapping out lamp spots and pathways, while around 30,000 volunteers have signed up online to help make it all happen.
The process to procure earthen lamps will also begin soon.
There'll even be a choreographed green fireworks show with music, promising a treat for the large crowds expected to attend from all over India.
