00:19The message is loud and clear that Yogi Aditya Nath has ensured
00:26that the glory of Ayodhya is restored in the last 10 years
00:30since he came to power in 2017.
00:33We'll be having a special broadcast from Ayodhya tomorrow.
00:38But for the moment, let's listen in to all the voices I captured
00:42just a few minutes ago when I was at Ramki Party.
00:46I'm leaving you with this. Thanks so much for watching.
00:57Ayodhya is getting ready to light up like never before.
01:02With just a day to go for the Tipotsaf, the city of Lord Ram
01:06is already glowing in all its festive splendor.
01:11From the main roads and intersections to temples and ghats along the Saryu.
01:18Colourful lights have transformed Ayodhya into a dazzling spectacle.
01:22And as night falls, it almost feels like the entire city
01:27has dressed up for the big celebration.
01:34But the real magic will unfold along the banks of the Saryu.
01:40This year, the target is to light up Ayodhya
01:43with 30 lakh earthen lamps across Ramki Peddi and 56 ghats.
01:48And the preparations are already in full swing.
01:54Around 35,000 volunteers are working round the clock,
01:58arranging the diyas in neat rows.
02:03The volunteers are saying that there are 30 diyas which will be lit up.
02:07I can see some volunteers here.
02:09Tell us about it. Who all are you?
02:12You call yourself volunteers.
02:14How many diyas in all? You have been working for how many days now?
02:19To be honest, it's really, really, really hectic.
02:22But at the end of the day, at the end of this festival, it's all worth it.
02:26So here in Ayodhya, our kind of welcoming Shri Ramji
02:30is by making a record every year.
02:33Our target is to be in 501,000 denials to get on the ground.
02:39Now it's possible that it will reach 251,000 denials to get on the ground.
03:11Thank you very much.
03:40And if the lights and dhyas aren't enough to leave you spellbound, there's technology adding to the spectacle.
03:49A trial of the Grand Laser Show has already been held at Ramki Perdi.
03:54Set to the tunes of Ramdhun, colourful laser beams lit up the Saryu riverfront, offering a glimpse of what visitors
04:02can expect on the big night.
04:05Ayodhya is all set to celebrate its 10th Deepotsav in spectacular style on Sunday.
