Ayodhya from Chandigarh in October — FAQs
The Ayodhya Deepotsav on Diwali is the world's largest lamp-lighting event on record, with 300,000+ earthen diyas lit simultaneously along 51 ghats of the Saryu river. The UP government holds this as a Guinness World Record event. The 2023 and 2024 editions saw over 1 million visitors attend. The Ram Path boulevard is illuminated with 10 million LED lights. A drone show depicting scenes from the Ramayana using 1,500 drones runs over the Saryu. For a single-night travel experience, Ayodhya Deepotsav is India's most spectacular.
The main Deepotsav event on Diwali night is open to the public at the ghats but the prime seating areas (where the lamp lighting ceremony and state government event occurs) require passes issued through UP Tourism. These passes are limited and distributed through official channels and licensed tour operators including Junegiri Yatra. Book your complete Ayodhya Diwali package through Junegiri Yatra at least 60 days ahead to secure Deepotsav event access along with accommodation and darshan slots at the Ram Mandir.
Ayodhya has 8,000+ temples — the Ram Mandir is the centrepiece but not the only experience. Must-visit: Hanuman Garhi (hilltop 11th century temple, best Ayodhya panorama), Kanak Bhawan (Ram-Sita deity, extraordinarily richly adorned), Nageshwarnath temple (Shiva temple built by Kush, Ram's son), Sita Ki Rasoi (Queen Kaushalya's kitchen), Mani Parbat (Buddhist stupa era hillock, 1st century BC), and Guptar Ghat (where Ram took Jal Samadhi — the Saryu's most sacred point). The Ram Katha Museum at Ram Ki Paidi explains Ramayana culture across civilizations.
