Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya is all set to hold a grand Deepotsav on Saturday (11 November) on the eve of Diwali. Over 24 lakh diyas at 51 ghats will illuminate the city on Saturday evening.
Uttar Pradesh Tourism and Culture Minister Jaiveer Singh flagged off the Shobha Yatra on Saturday.
The state Tourism Minister said that more than 50 envoys will be witnesses to Sanatan culture as they participate in the Deepavali festivities.
Ayodhya Deepotsav began in 2017 when Yogi Adityanath became the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Since then, every year, lakhs of diyas get lit in the land of Lord Ram around Diwali festiwal.
The grand Deepotsav programme in Ayodhya will commence at 3 pm on Saturday.
