Ayodhya Deepotsav 2025: Ramayan Glory Meets AI Vigil Devotion

If you think of a festive market opening day, imagine it scaled to a city-wide level. That’s what Ayodhya Deepotsav 2025 looks like — the town of Ayodhya gearing up not just with candles and faith, but with technology, large-scale coordination and a vision that spans heritage and innovation.

This year the event is set for 19 October 2025 in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. At the ghats of the Saryu River, across 56 locations including the well-known Ram Ki Paidi, officials aim to light around 26 lakh earthen diyas. Volunteers numbering nearly 33 000 are involved, colouring the scene of faith with human energy and devotion.

The “Ramayan Glory” aspect is central — tableaux from episodes of the epic, scenes of Lord Ram’s return, and cultural processions recall the timeless story. At the same time, the “AI Vigil Devotion” side brings in real-time crowd monitoring through AI-based cameras, a first for events of this kind in the region. Officials say this initiative is to ensure safe management while maintaining the mood of devotion.

The impact on daily life is visible. Roads to the ghats are lit early, volunteers manage traffic flows, and local vendors are active in the underway preparation. The local economy sees a boost — artisans making diyas, tech teams installing sensors, and hospitality services gearing up for the influx of visitors. Government statements indicate that this year’s Deepotsav is not only cultural but also economic in its ambition.

Today’s update: rehearsals are complete, security zones are marked, and the AI-monitoring hub is in place. The administration highlights that everything from sanitation to crowd alerts is synchronized. As the lights go on, the city expects visitors, local residents and devotees to feel the convergence of devotion and modernity.
