Ram Lalla Darshan & Ground Inspection of Ram Ki Paidi for Deepotsav 2026
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath touched down on the banks of the holy Saryu River in Ayodhya on Monday afternoon, November 2, 2026, initiating an on-ground inspection of administrative and logistical preparations ahead of the grand Deepotsav celebrations. Upon his arrival at the riverside helipad, the Chief Minister was received by senior political dignitaries, including former Member of Parliament Lallu Singh, Member of the Legislative Council Hariom Pandey, regional legislators, and Bharatiya Janata Party office-bearers. With administrative countdowns intensifying for the mega-event scheduled for Saturday, November 7, Adityanath's presence marks a crucial quality-control checkpoint to ensure that ceremonial infrastructure, safety cordons, and pilgrim amenities align with international benchmarks.
Spiritual Veneration: Darshan at Hanumangarhi and Ram Janmabhoomi Complex
Following reception protocols, the Chief Minister proceeded immediately on his spiritual itinerary, offering formal prayers at the historic Hanumangarhi shrine to seek the blessings of Lord Hanuman, the eternal guardian of Ayodhya Dham. Adityanath then moved directly to the Ram Janmabhoomi temple complex for darshan and veneration of Ram Lalla, performing ritual aartis and seeking divine blessings for the continued peace, security, and prosperity of the state. The traditional temple visits serve as the ceremonial foundation of the Chief Minister’s inspection rounds, reinforcing the spiritual gravity of an event that draws millions of devotees and dignitaries to the pilgrimage capital.
Intensive Venue Audits: Ram Ki Paidi, Saryu Aarti Ghats, and Saket College
Transitioning to field evaluations, Adityanath conducted comprehensive on-site inspections across core festival zones, including the stepped riverbanks of Ram Ki Paidi, the assembly grounds at Ram Katha Park, the Nayaghat Saryu Aarti Sthal, and Saket College. With Saket College serving as the central staging ground for the grand cultural tableaus depicting episodes from the Ramayana, the Chief Minister reviewed float readiness, procession routes, crowd dispersal channels, and emergency exits alongside senior district officers. The rigorous venue audit aims to guarantee that the deployment of millions of earthen lamps, sanitation drives, riverfront barricading, and multi-tier security perimeters are coordinated to deliver an organized celebration across Ramnagari.
