Deepotsav 2025: 26 Lakh Diyas to Light Up Ayodhya

Deepotsav commemorates the return of Lord Ram, Mata Sita, and Lakshman to Ayodhya after 14 years in exile, as narrated in the Ramayana. To celebrate Shri Ram's homecoming, the city, bathed in light, will recreate that epic event on a scale never seen before. The 56 ghats, including Ram Ki Paidi, will glow with 26 lakh oil lamps, each one symbolising the values of Lord Ram and the divine legacy of Ayodhya.

Taking Deepotsav beyond borders, performers from five countries, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Russia, Thailand, and Indonesia, will participate in Ramleela performances at Ramkatha Park, presenting their versions of Lord Ram’s story in traditional Indian attire, infused with their own cultural interpretations. This marks the first time that Nepal and Sri Lanka are officially participating in the event.

#RamRajyaKaDeepotsav Goes Digital

Deepotsav 2025 isn't just about tradition; it's also a celebration of India’s technological prowess. A specially developed Deepotsav AR app will allow visitors to explore animated scenes from the Ramayana along Ram Ki Paidi. Devotees from around the world can take a 360-degree virtual darshan of the celebrations through the Divya Ayodhya app.

In a bid to recreate the spiritual aura of the Treta Yuga, 30 18-foot digital pillars displaying animated scenes from the Ramayana will line both sides of Dharmapath, the ceremonial road leading from the national highway to the temple entrance. These installations will be showcased between October 18 and 20. Major landmarks like Hanumangarhi, Dashrath Mahal, Ramkatha Park, Ram Ki Paidi, Bhajan Sandhya Sthal, and the Saryu Bridge have been decorated with grand lighting arrangements.
