Divine glow and devotion usher Ayodhya into festivity
LUCKNOW, Oct. 19 -- Ayodhya is basking in divine glow to mark the ninth edition of Deepotsav on Sunday, with the temple town getting ready to attempt yet another Guinness World Record by lighting 26,11,101 earthen lamps this time, which will illuminate 56 ghats and create a spectacular visual along river Saryu.
A major attraction this year will be a 32-ft-tall Pushpak Viman at Ram Ki Paidi, showcasing scenes from the Ramayan and giving visitors a vivid experience of the epic. Nearly 33,000 volunteers, including students, teachers and residents, are working tirelessly to decorate the ghats.
The earthen diyas' extravaganza will see use of artificial intelligence (AI) cameras for crowd management and safety. Eleven AI cameras have been deployed throughout Ayodhya Dham, monitoring every inch of the area. These cams will be live at Lata Chowk, Dharam Path, Ram Path and Ram Ki Paidi, monitoring people coming and going from all directions.
The cameras will not only conduct a headcount of the crowd, but will also identify suspicious individuals.
The temple town is bedecked with millions of diyas, lights and flowers to mark Lord Ram's homecoming. The Ram temple in Janmabhoomi complex, Hanuman Garhi and other sacred sites have been illuminated with colourful lights.
Across the temple town, 56 ghats, including majestic Ram Ki Paidi, have also been decked up with earthen diyas and flowers for Deepotsav.....
