A Guinness world record was created after 33,258 'diyas' (earthen lamps) were lit to write "Siyavar Ramchandra ki Jai" in Chandrapur in Maharashtra in the run up to the idol consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on Monday.
The event took place on Saturday night on the Chanda Club ground here in the presence of state minister Sudhir Mungantiwar.
