Ayodhya: On the eve of Deepavali, arrangements have been made to decorate ayodhya with 12 lakh lanterns tonight. In History, Rama returned to ayodhya after 14 years of exile after defeating Ravana, and this day is celebrated as Diwali.

Even though myths and legends are told to celebrate Deepavali, all these stories emphasize to us that it is good that destroys evils and makes happiness blossom in the minds of the people. 


To celebrate this, all the people of the country, irrespective of their religious affiliation, are competing and arranging puddings, sweets, and firecrackers on this day.

In some states in northern India, diwali is celebrated as the day when Sri Ramaphran returned to ayodhya with his family after fourteen years of exile. 


Their city of ayodhya, which was devastated by the exile of Sri Ramapiran, expresses their happiness by exploding firecrackers and sharing sweets as if they were illuminated with the return of Sri Ramapiran.

This celebration is still practised in some states including Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, and Haryana.


12 lakh lanterns will be lit to decorate ayodhya ahead of diwali this year. In ayodhya, 9 lakh lights are to be installed on the steps along the sarayu river and 3 lakh lights are to be installed in other parts of the city. It is planned to set a new record.

Uttar Pradesh governor Anandiben Patel, chief minister yogi Adityanath, and ministers are attending the function. At the invitation of yogi Adityanath, Union culture minister kishan reddy is also participating. 


It has been announced that there will be a performance of folk artists, a procession of decorative vehicles depicting the events of Ramayana, a Ramlila, and a laser show.
