With the Divya Ayodhya app, devotees worldwide can now perform digital lighting of diyas and offer prayers online, ensuring everyone can be part of the celebrations regardless of location.
The app features three devotional packages. The ‘Ram Jyoti’ package (₹2,100) includes roli, Saryu water, Ayodhya soil, ramdana, mishri, raksha sutra, Hanuman Garhi laddoos, and mini Padukas. The ‘Sita Jyoti’ (₹1,100) and ‘Lakshman Jyoti’ (₹501) packages include similar sacred items in varied combinations, delivered directly to registered devotees’ homes.
The Divya Ayodhya app provides temple information, guided tours, hotel and homestay bookings, and transport services. Developed under the UP Homestay Scheme, it connects visitors with local communities, enriching their experience.
The app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, and devotees can visit www.divyaayodhya.com/bookdiyaprashad to participate.
Highlighting the essence of the initiative, Minister Singh said, “This effort beautifully blends technology with tradition. Deepotsav 2025 is not just a festival of lamps but also of unity, devotion, and shared faith. Through ‘Ek Diya Ram Ke Naam’, devotees everywhere can feel spiritually connected to Ayodhya and offer their prayers to Lord Ram.”
The campaign ensures that the radiance of Deepotsav 2025 travels beyond Ayodhya, lighting hearts and homes across the world.
