LUCKNOW, Oct. 19 -- Ayodhya is basking in divine glow to mark the ninth edition of Deepotsav on Sunday, with the temple town getting ready to attempt yet another Guinness World Record by lighting 26,11,101 earthen lamps this time, which will illuminate 56 ghats and create a spectacular visual along river Saryu. A major attraction this year will be a 32-ft-tall Pushpak Viman at Ram Ki Paidi, showcasing scenes from the Ramayan and giving visitors a vivid experience of the epic. Nearly 33,000 volunteers, including students, teachers and residents, are working tirelessly to decorate the ghats. The earthen diyas' extravaganza will see use of artificial intelligence (AI) cameras for crowd management and safety. Eleven AI cameras have been deployed throughout Ayodhya Dham. These cams will be live at Lata Chowk, Dharam Path, Ram Path and Ram Ki Paidi, monitoring people coming and going from all directions. The cameras will not only conduct a headcount of the crowd, but will also identify suspicious individuals. Across the temple town, 56 ghats, including majestic Ram Ki Paidi, have also been decked up with earthen diyas and flowers for Deepotsav. Last year, 1,151 people performed the 'Saryu Aarti' collectively, earning a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. This time, the event is being held on a scale twice as large, marking a new chapter in Ayodhya's collective devotion. On this Deepotsav, around 2,100 priests will perform the 'Aarti' on the banks of Saryu. It will take place at 5pm on Sunday. According to the Ayodhya administration, the 'Aarti' site has been divided into 11 zones. Arrangements have been made for 200 participants to stand and perform the 'aarti' in each zone, extending from Nayaghat to Laxman Ghat. Authorities have implemented strict measures. Volunteers are provided ID cards and special T-shirts and access to the ghats is limited. "If there is a large crowd in any area, an alert will be sent immediately to officers through AI cameras. The event area will be covered with 11 AI cameras. During Deepotsav, these cameras will provide real-time monitoring of devotees coming and going," Ayodhya district magistrate Nikhil Tikaram Funde said....
