Ayodhya is bathed in lights for the festival of lights. The decoration has been done in such a way that it seems as if heaven has descended on earth. Gleaming roads, buildings painted in one color and attractive lighting along with 15 archways and many welcome gates based on Ram Katha are enhancing the beauty of Ayodhya. In the Deepotsav on Saturday, preparations are being made to light 21 lakh lamps only on Ram Ki Pauri, which will also prove to be a world record. To achieve this record, additional 3 lakh 60 thousand lamps will also be lit so that the lamp garland remains continuous.
As soon as the first lamp is lit in the court of Ramlala on Saturday evening, the entire Ayodhya will light up. Lord Shri Ram will reach Ayodhya in a helicopter in the form of Pushpak Viman. CM Yogi and Governor Anandi Ben Patel will receive him. After this, CM Yogi will perform the coronation of Shri Ram in the role of Vashishtha. About five thousand guests will be present at Ramkatha Park to witness this event. This time, green firecrackers will be burst on Saryu Bridge for 20 minutes. About Rs 80 lakh is being spent on this.
The Chief Minister and other guests will watch the fireworks from the Saryu coast. If we talk about the joy of the residents of Ramnagari, then to celebrate the return of Shri Ram to Ayodhya after the victory of Lanka, they have decorated their houses on the same lines as were decorated in Treta Yuga. Ramkatha and symbols of auspiciousness have been painted on the doors and walls of houses and shops.
Ramnagari will create history again today
On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti, Ramnagari is again on the threshold of creating history on Saturday. Lamps have been decorated at 51 ghats of Ram Ki Paidi. 24.60 lakh lamps have been installed.
Till late Friday evening, the Guinness Book of World Records team was busy counting the lamps. The process of adding oil and wick to the lamps will start from Saturday morning. In the evening, lamps will be lit at all the ghats. The youth of Avadh University will again create history. There is tremendous enthusiasm among the volunteers regarding this.
One liter mustard bottle will be given to fill the oil in the lamp. 30 ml oil will be poured into each lamp. The upper part of the lamp will be kept somewhat empty, so that the oil does not fall on the ghat. After the one liter oil bottle is empty, it will be kept safe again in the same cardboard. After pouring oil in the lamp, camphor powder will be applied on the front part of the wick, which will make it easier for the volunteers to light the lamps.
To light the lamps at each ghat, candles, matchsticks, candles and other materials will be made available to the coordinators at one go in proportion to the number of lamps prescribed. The volunteers and coordinators who light the lamps will be present at the ghats in cotton clothes only. While lighting the lamp, take care of yourself and others also.
