The first Diwali at the recently constructed Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple is being prepared in a magnificent and “environmentally conscious” manner in anticipation of the Yogi Adityanath government’s eighth Deepotsav in Ayodhya this year.While special eco-friendly lamps will light up the Ram temple, the Uttar Pradesh government stated that it hopes to set a new global record by igniting 25 to 28 million lamps along the banks of the Saryu River. These lights are made to last for a long time and help shield the temple’s structure from stains and soot.According to the administration, this Deepotsav also places a high priority on environmental protection. In order to reduce carbon emissions and prevent soot damage to the temple, special wax lamps will be utilized. According to a statement from the government, the Ram temple complex, which will be decorated with unique floral arrangements, has been split up into different areas for decoration, each of which has been given distinct duties.Ashu Shukla, a retired IG from the Bihar cadre, has been given the responsibility of overseeing the lighting, entrance arch decorations, and comprehensive cleaning.According to the statement, the temple trust wants to make Ayodhya a symbol of cleanliness and environmental awareness this Diwali, in addition to being a center of religion and faith.According to the statement, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra has chosen to keep the temple open for “Bhavan Darshan” from October 29 to November 1 until midnight in order to guarantee that the grandeur of the Deepotsav leaves a lasting impact.The temple is visible to visitors from Gate No. 4B (luggage scanner point) to marvel at its grand decorations.”Ayodhya’s Deepawali will be a truly global spectacle, with this festival of lights conveying a message of faith, environmental stewardship, and beauty,” the statement continued.On January 22, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided at the historic consecration of an idol of Ram Lalla at the Ayodhya temple. He also issued a forceful plea to move beyond the construction of the magnificent mandir and lay the groundwork for a “strong, capable, and divine” India over the next 1,000 years.
