CM Yogi had also appealed to the Lord Ram devotees to light diyas and illuminate their homes in celebration of the ‘bhumi pujan’. Ayodhya has already been illuminated since Monday. Houses and buildings in the city have been painted yellow to create a tretayug-like facade during the bhoomi pujan event.
