Diwali is observed on Amavasya (or the new moon), the 15th day of the month of Kartik, every year. This year, Diwali will be celebrated on Sunday (November 12).
The festival is also known as the ‘festival of lights’, and is the symbol of the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Hence, this festival holds cultural and spiritual significance.
In a remarkable feat on Saturday, Ayodhya set a new Guinness world record by lighting over 22.23 lakh ‘Diyas’ (earthen lamps) during ‘Deepotsav 2023’. The temple town broke its own world record of 15.76 lakh Diyas lit last year on Diwali eve.
The Uttar Pradesh Government’s ‘Grand Deepotsav’ was recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records after representatives from the organisation witnessed and acknowledged the achievement of lighting an unprecedented number of lamps simultaneously at a single location.
