There is enthusiasm for Diwali everywhere. The festival this time is very special, especially for Ayodhya, because Diwali is celebrated there for the first time after the construction of the great Ram temple. On this special occasion, special preparations are made to adorn Ramlala.
According to information, Ramlala (boy Ram) will wear Pitambara on the first Diwali in the grand temple. Ramlala will be dressed in dhoti and yellow silk clothes.
Along with silk embroidery, gold and silver wire embroidery has also been done on the yellow silk fabric. Many girls will also be adorned with garlands and jewelry. Vaisnava symbols have been decorated with silver wires on the yellow clothes of the Ram boy.
Along with the boy Ram (great statue of Ramlala), Ramlala and his three brothers present in the tent of the sanctum sanctorum of the great temple will also wear yellow clothes. The color yellow is considered auspicious and silk clothing is also considered auspicious. As Diwali is Thursday, the boy Ram will appear dressed in yellow.
28 lakh lamps lit in Ayodhya
At the same time, this is the first light festival after the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, so the UP government has set a new record by lighting 28 lakh lamps on the banks of the Saryu river.
UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, while wishing people a happy Diwali, described it as an important festival of Sanatan Dharma tradition in India. CM said that thousands of years ago, devotees across India started celebrating this festival by decorating their houses with garlands of lamps to commemorate the arrival of Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Ram in Ayodhya after 14 years of exile and the beginning of Ramrajya. CM Yogi said that this year’s Diwali is “historic” because after a long wait of 500 years, Lord Shri Ramlala has sat in his abode.
