Diwali in Ayodhya: Celebrating homecoming of Ram Lalla after 500 years with over 28 lakhs diyas

Diwali 2024 is going to be grand and historic in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh because this year marks the first celebration at the newly constructed Ram Mandir. This is like Ayodhya will be celebrating Diwali in all the real sense after a wait of over 500 years! Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is calling this Diwali “a once-in-a-lifetime celebration,” underscoring the spiritual beauty of the day.

This year promises to be unforgettable for several reasons as millions of diyas will also illuminate the city to celebrate Ram Lalla's return to his birthplace after years in a grand festival. This symbolises the victory of good over evil and the enduring power of faith.
Also for the first time, devotees from across India will witness the Diwali festivities at Ayodhya's Ram Temple, an event that holds deep symbolic and spiritual importance for millions. The consecration of the Ram Lalla idol in January set the stage for this remarkable celebration, making it a milestone in India’s religious heritage.
