Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh has set a new Guinness World Record by lighting 22.23 lakh earthen lamps across 51 ghats during its Deepotsav celebration. The previous record was 17 lakh diyas.

The celebration included a procession featuring tableaux on various themes from the Ramayana, social issues, and government initiatives.
