Diwali Celebrations Illuminate Srinagar’s Historic Lal Chowk

Diwali Celebrations Illuminate Srinagar’s Historic Lal Chowk

What's behind this

Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Ram, marked the 10th edition of Deepotsav on Saturday, November 7, lighting over 36 lakh earthen lamps along the banks of the Saryu river. Organisers highlighted the festival’s universal message, recalling the ancient Sanatan principle “Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya” – a prayer to move from darkness to light and dispel ignorance, ego, violence and animosity. The report notes that the celebrations saw nearly 10 lakh more earthen lamps lit than an unspecified earlier count, but the comparison point is not detailed.
