Yogi Adityanath has planned a grand Diwali celebration in Ayodhya.

 
 
Yogi Adityanath was happy to offer a grand ceremonial welcome to an actor playing the Hindu god, as his mega "Deepotsav" or Diwali celebrations began in the temple town today.

The lead actors of Ramlila, in full costume, arrived in a government chopper and landed on the banks of the river Saryu, where they were received by the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, his Tourism Minister Rita Bahuguna Joshi and state Governor Ram Naik. At least 380 artistes came from different corners of India and abroad (Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia) to perform in the 3-km-long Shobha Yatra. 

Some 1.75 lakh diyas or earthen lamps dazzled during the evening aarti on the pink-lit river banks as the Yogi Adityanath, the head priest of the Gorakhnath temple, aimed for a world record. Slogans of "Jai Shri Ram" rang out. 

With this, the Uttar Pradesh government will break the Guinness World Record for largest display of oil lamps set by jailed Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. The Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda had lit 1.5 lakh diyas at an event on September 23 last year.
