Prayagraj: In order to press for the construction of a grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya, a group of seers are lighting 33,000 diyas (lamps) daily at the ongoing Kumbh Mela 2019 in Prayagraj.

Seers said that they would light 11 lakh diyas in January and pray for the early construction of Lord Ram Temple at the disputed Babri Masjid site.
