What Is Deepotsav?

Deepotsav, meaning a festival of lamps, refers to celebrations centred on the lighting of lamps, particularly in Ayodhya during the Deepawali period. The celebrations draw on the city's association with Lord Ram and his return to Ayodhya.

The lighting of lamps is an important part of the festival, with devotees illuminating homes, temples and other spaces as a mark of devotion. In Ayodhya, Deepotsav celebrations are associated with the city's religious and cultural traditions linked to Lord Ram.

Deepawali and Deepotsav are closely connected through the tradition of lighting lamps. While Deepawali is celebrated across India and in many parts of the world, Deepotsav in Ayodhya places particular emphasis on the city’s connection with Lord Ram and the symbolism of welcoming him home.

Through its post, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust highlighted the illuminated temple complex and invited devotees to take part in the occasion through a simple act of devotion.

The Trust's message focused on the spiritual significance of Deepawali and the temple's festive appearance, describing the illumination as a welcome for Lord Shri Ram.
