Lucknow. On January 22, the program of consecration of Ram Lalla in the newly built grand Ram temple in Ayodhya will become an example for the whole world. People across the country are preparing for this day in their own ways. At the same time, the Yogi government has geared up to make this program historic in the entire state. Various cultural programs are going to start from January 14 in the entire state including Ayodhya, which includes the entire series of Ramkatha, Ramlila, classical music. Along with these programs, there is also a plan to celebrate Deepotsav across the country on 22nd January, in which the people of the state should participate enthusiastically and efforts are being made to celebrate it like a festival. However, this festival of lights will be completely different from the festival of lights held in Ayodhya on the festival of Diwali. In this, lamps will not be lit on the banks of Saryu, but people will be encouraged to light lamps in every house along with all the mythological sites of the state. In this, everything like lamp and oil will belong to the people of the state which will demonstrate their immense faith in Lord Ram. PM Modi had named the flame of this festival of lights as ‘Ram Jyoti’ and now the Yogi government has resolved to light this Ram Jyoti in every house of the state.
An appeal is being made to the people of the state
In a talk held at Tourism Bhawan in Lucknow on Saturday, Principal Secretary Mukesh Meshram said that Deepotsav will be celebrated across the country on January 22. People in Uttar Pradesh will also be inspired to celebrate Deepotsav. It is our endeavor to organize Deepotsav at all the mythological and historical places of the state. People will also be encouraged to light lamps at their homes. He told that this program will not be like the Deepotsav program held before Diwali, but will be bigger than that. It will be celebrated like a festival in every house. The Tourism and Culture Department is appealing to all the people of the state to light ‘Ram Jyoti’ through lamps in their homes. This is a historic occasion and we hope that more people will participate in it than we expected.
