On the occasion, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that Deepotsava is the celebration of the fulfilment of the resolution taken by Lord Ram to end the demonic powers.
The Deepotsav event held at Ram ki Pauri was attended by the diplomats of 54 countries.
"Diwali is celebrated all over India to commemorate the return of Sri Ram to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile,” Yogi said.
"The vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to get global recognition for Ayodhya," the CM said.
“Deepawali marks not only Lord Rama's return from the forest but also his triumphant arrival in Ayodhya after fulfilling his vow to provide security to the forest dwellers, eliminating negative forces and demonic tendencies. It also marks the beginning of Rama Rajya in Ayodhya,” Adityanath said.
आज 22 लाख से अधिक दिव्य दीपशिखाओं से दीप्त श्री अयोध्या जी की पावन धरा अलौकिक आनंद की अनुभूति करा रही है।
