Lucknow. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath described the inclusion of Diwali in UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list as a proud moment for India. He said that Diwali is a festival which symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and new beginnings. This global recognition has further strengthened the strength of India’s cultural traditions.
This achievement is special from the point of view of Ayodhya: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath
Chief Minister Yogi said on his social media platform ‘X’ that this honor has special significance for Uttar Pradesh, because Ayodhya is the holy city of Lord Shri Ram. The first historical tradition of Diwali started from here. Ayodhya is not only the center of faith but also the soul of Indian culture. In such a situation, the global identity of Diwali further increases the spiritual importance of Ayodhya.
Symbol of India’s growing cultural identity
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that this international honor is a sign of India’s growing cultural prestige. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s cultural presence has become broader at the global level. He said that the world’s acceptance of Indian traditions and festivals shows positive change.
Diwali is not just a festival, but a philosophy of life: Yogi
The CM expressed hope that the eternal light of Ayodhya will continue to inspire humanity to move forward on the path of truth, peace and harmony. According to him, Diwali is not just a festival, but a philosophy that gives direction to life values, which leads the society towards unity and values.
