Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 76th birthday will feature 76 diyas
Prime Minister Narendra Modi turns 76 this Thursday, and the Red Fort is getting a special makeover: 76 big diyas will light up the monument, with one called the Aashirwad Ka Diya symbolizing good wishes from across the country.
It's all about celebrating Modi's years of dedication and service.
