Diwali 2026 Ayodhya 24Hr Akhand Ramayan Path & Chadhava

🪔✨ On Diwali, when the entire city of Ayodhya will shine with countless diyas to welcome Lord Ram, Hanuman Ji will stand as its divine protector, and the entire nation will celebrate the festival of lights, a 24-hour Akhand Ramayana Paath will be performed in your name at the royal gateway of the Raghuvansh — Rajdwar Temple.
📖 Why Is Akhand Ramayana Paath Uninterrupted? Why 24 Hours?
Goswami Tulsidas Ji wrote in the Ramcharitmanas: "Wherever the Ram Katha is heard, all sorrows disappear." It is believed that wherever the Ram Katha is recited, Lord Ram Himself comes to listen. Akhand means unbroken, uninterrupted and continuous. Just as the Ganga flows without stopping, the divine stream of Ram Naam will flow continuously at Rajdwar Temple for 24 hours.
The Journey Through All Seven Kandas:
Bala Kanda → Ayodhya Kanda (Lord Ram’s exile) → Aranya Kanda → Kishkindha Kanda → Sundara Kanda → Lanka Kanda (the defeat of Ravana) → Uttara Kanda (Lord Ram’s return and Diwali celebrations). The complete journey of Lord Ram will be recited in one uninterrupted Paath.
Akhand Ramayana Paath is traditionally associated with blessings for longevity, fame, purification of sins and Moksha. It is also performed to seek family harmony, relief from obstacles, freedom from negative energies and blessings for auspicious new beginnings.
