Ayodhya’s Deepotsav 2025 illuminated the city with millions of diyas, marking the ninth edition of the festival celebrating Lord Ram’s life. The event set two Guinness World Records for the most people performing simultaneous diya rotations and the largest display of oil lamps. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the festivities, which also featured Ramayana-themed tableaux, folk performances, and drone shows.
