00:01Hello everyone, welcome to this special broadcast where I'm coming to you live from Ayodhya on the banks of River
00:08Saryu.
00:09Here the massive Depots of celebrations have begun.
00:13Lacks of diyas having been lit up and in few minutes from now it will be announced that 30 lakh
00:20diyas have been lit up in this 10th edition of Depots of.
00:25Remember it all began 10 years ago in 2017 when Yogi Adityanath first became chief minister.
00:31And ever since he has made this almost like an annual celebration ahead of Dipavali.
00:39So before Dipavali tomorrow, today is the day when the people of Ayodhya, all of them participate in this Depots
00:48of.
00:48And people from across the world and India come to witness what has been a spectacular evening so far.
00:58And continues and promises to be further with the laser show being planned.
01:04And Yogi Adityanath who is already here just a few minutes from where I am.
01:09And in attendance is the governor of Uttar Pradesh and also the vice president of India.
01:15Let me quickly bring in Samad Srivastav who continues to be at another ghat.
01:20This is ghat number 40 where I am.
01:22Samad, speak to some volunteers, people who have gathered.
01:25Give us a sense of what does it feel to be in Ayodhya today.
01:33Well exactly, Mariya.
01:35I am also present around the Saramki Paide area.
01:37Where the Deep Prajwal and what we say the lighting up of Diyas has already started by the volunteers.
01:43And you can expect some drones moving above us would be counting these particular Diyas like every year around.
01:50And they will announce once that particular record of 30 lakh will be breached.
01:54That's what this particular event is all about.
01:56I have been joined by some volunteers as well.
01:58I will try to speak to some of them.
02:00Out here you can see a lot of people have gathered here.
02:30I will try to speak to some of them.
02:41So you can clearly see this particular sense out here as we are showing you the visuals from Ramki Paide.
02:46In between is the sacred water of Masaryu.
02:50And right there are scores of Diyas placed here in a way to breach the 30 lakh mark at the
02:57Ramki Paide.
02:58And scores of volunteers you can see out here.
03:02And many who have come here just to witness this historic movement of the Potsal.
03:06They have reached here to witness this particular event out here.
03:11And that's why they are here.
03:13If you can make a long shot right over there.
03:15A space quite empty.
03:18There you can clearly see how a golden color light could be seen around the Diyas.
03:23And that's the beauty of actual Depotsal which we see which we call.
03:28And these are the situations.
03:30The preparations are also chalked out out here.
03:32And the Vice President of India is already here.
03:35Saru Aarti happened.
03:37And as we saw how CM Yogi welcomed Ransita Lakshman via Pushpak Viman out here.
03:42And later we will see a laser show depicting the entire Ramayana.
03:47After that we will see the firecrackers all over the sky.
03:50to ensure that yes, Diwali has begun in the state of Uttar Pradesh and especially in Ayodhya.
