On the occasion, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that Deepotsava is the celebration of the fulfilment of the resolution taken by Lord Ram to end the demonic powers.
The Deepotsav event held at Ram ki Pauri was attended by the diplomats of 54 countries.
"Diwali is celebrated all over India to commemorate the return of Sri Ram to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile,” Yogi said.
"The vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to get global recognition for Ayodhya," the CM said.
“Deepawali marks not only Lord Rama's return from the forest but also his triumphant arrival in Ayodhya after fulfilling his vow to provide security to the forest dwellers, eliminating negative forces and demonic tendencies. It also marks the beginning of Rama Rajya in Ayodhya,” Adityanath said.
आज 22 लाख से अधिक दिव्य दीपशिखाओं से दीप्त श्री अयोध्या जी की पावन धरा अलौकिक आनंद की अनुभूति करा रही है।

He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of this resolution in 2014 once again to implement the ideals of Rama Rajya in India, where there will be no discrimination between individuals based on caste, creed or religion. "Lord Ram's temple is going to be inaugurated in a grand ceremony here in the coming month of January.”
On this occasion, the Chief Minister especially thanked the 25,000 volunteers who had gathered for the last four days to make the Deepotsava grand.
