Acharya, in a statement, said he hoped the blessings of Goddess Kali would bring peace, happiness, good health and prosperity to every household in the state. Describing Diwali as a celebration of light, hope and renewal, he said the festival symbolised the victory of righteousness over darkness. Lighting the ceremonial lamp, he said security personnel often remain away from their families during festivals while performing their duties to ensure the safety of the nation. Their commitment, courage and sacrifices enable millions of citizens to celebrate festivals in peace and tranquillity, he said. The lamps lit to welcome Lord Shri Ram’s return to Ayodhya kept this truth alive,” he said.
