Yogi Adityanath Calls for Diya Lighting at Home for Deepotsav

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has called on residents to light diyas in their homes and courtyards as part of the Diwali celebrations, coinciding with the illumination of Ram Janmabhoomi. This initiative aims to enhance the festive spirit and connect citizens with the cultural heritage of the region.

The upcoming Deepotsav, marking its 10th edition, is scheduled to take place from November 5 to 8. This year’s celebration promises to be grander than ever, with plans to illuminate Ram Ki Paidi and 56 ghats along the Saryu river with over 30 lakh diyas. The event is expected to draw significant attention from both locals and tourists alike.

In addition to the lighting of diyas, a remarkable display featuring 2,100 drones will present a show based on the Ramayana. This innovative approach aims to blend tradition with modern technology, providing a unique experience for attendees and showcasing the rich cultural narratives of India.

The initiative not only celebrates the festival of lights but also aims to foster a sense of community and togetherness among the people of Uttar Pradesh. By encouraging families to light diyas at home, the Chief Minister hopes to create a unified atmosphere of joy and devotion during this auspicious occasion.

As the dates for Deepotsav approach, preparations are underway to ensure a smooth and memorable experience for all participants. Local authorities are working diligently to manage the logistics of the event, ensuring that safety and accessibility are prioritized for everyone attending the celebrations.
