A total of 28 lakh lamps have been arranged at the 56 Ghats of Holy Saryu by the 33 thousand volunteers to make a new world record. This year, 2,100 Vedacharyas will also set another world record by performing a grand aarti from Laxman Kila Ghat to Naya Ghat. Apart from that, 1100 indigenous drones will display Ramayana scenes in the skies over Ayodhya, and a 3D holographic laser show will make this experience unique.
