Under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, a joint initiative of the administration and social organizations is working round the clock to create a wonderful confluence of “devotion, culture and social harmony”.
Mayor Mahant Girishpati Tripathi said that every possible effort is being made to organize a grand and organized event. He said that this event will be in accordance with the traditions of Ayodhya.
Meanwhile, the lamp donation ceremony concluded at 3 pm on October 17. Rehearsal of Aarti is also being done to ensure alignment of participants, Vedic recitation and lighting of lamps.
When the sacred Saryu river of Ayodhya will glow with the glow of 2,100 lamps, the scene will symbolize the confluence of spirituality, unity and the power of the Mother Goddess, conveying the divinity of the city to the entire world.
