10th Deepotsav in Ayodhya: CM Yogi calls for Ram Rajya with development for all

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 7 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, on Saturday said that the resolve kindled on the banks of the sacred Saryu in 2017 has now given India's cultural heritage a new identity and elevated its prestige on the global stage.

In a message marking the 10th edition of Deepotsav in Ayodhya, the Chief Minister said the grand celebration was not merely about lighting lamps or creating world records but represented a significant chapter in the revival of Sanatan culture, restoration of national self-respect and the resurgence of Ayodhya's historical and spiritual glory.

Taking to social media platform X, CM Yogi said the decade-long journey of Deepotsav had transformed a centuries-old wait into a magnificent reality, restoring Ayodhya to its rightful place while reaffirming its cultural identity and heritage.

He said the hundreds of thousands of lamps illuminated at Ram Ki Paidi had not only dispelled darkness but also spread the message of faith, social uplift, empowerment of marginalised communities and local self-reliance.

"This historic decade of Deepotsav in Shri Ayodhya Dham has not been limited to the glow of lamps and world records, but has become a golden chapter in the revival of the glory of Lord Shri Ram's city from the Treta Yuga, the renaissance of Sanatan culture, and the restoration of the nation's self-respect," he said.

The Chief Minister urged people to incorporate the ideals of Lord Shri Ram into their lives and work towards establishing Ram Rajya, where the benefits of development reach the most deprived sections of society.

"On this glorious 10th edition of Deepotsav, let us all embrace the ideals of Lord Shri Ram in our lives.

Let us build a Ram Rajya where the light of development reaches the lives of those at the very bottom of society, and where this eternal flame of faith, harmony, and service continues to shine for ages to come," he said.
