Indian PM Narendra Modi on Monday greeted the nation on Diwali when he urged people to buy Indian products and support local artisans.

In his X post, Modi greeted the nation and wrote on X: "Greetings on the occasion of Diwali. May this festival of lights illuminate our lives with harmony, happiness and prosperity. May the spirit of positivity prevail all around us."

In his 'Swadeshi' push, Modi said: "Let’s mark this festive season by celebrating the hardwork, creativity and innovation of 140 crore Indians."

"Let’s buy Indian products and say- Garv Se Kaho Yeh Swadeshi Hai! Do also share what you bought on social media. This way you will inspire others to also do the same," he said.

Indian President Droupadi Murmu wished the nation and wrote on X: "On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all Indians, both in India and across the world."

On the eve of Diwali, Ayodhya entered the Guinness World Records by lighting over 26 lakh oil lamps.

The city marked the largest-ever Saryu aarti.

The mega event was hosted by the  Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department in collaboration with the Ayodhya District Administration.
