It may be recalled that in a record feat, more than 22 lakh earthen lamps were lit on the banks of the Saryu river in Ayodhya on Saturday night in the seventh edition of the Deepotsav.
The 22.23 lakh earthen lamps — 6.47 lakh more than last year — were lit by 25,000 volunteers at the 51 ghats of Ram Ki Paidi along the river.
Ayodhya reverberated with chants of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ after the representatives of the Guinness Book of World Records counted the lamps using drones and registered it as a world record.
