Support Lakhs Of Sadhus and Pilgrims In Ayodhya With Warm Meals This Diwali
Project
This year, Diwali holds extraordinary significance as Lord Ram returns to his rightful seat in Ayodhya after a wait of 500 long years. To honour this momentous occasion, the city will come alive with grandeur like never before. Over 25 lakh diyas will illuminate Ram Ki Paidi and the Saryu River, with processions, laser shows, and 1,100 artists gracing the banks to commemorate this homecoming. The four-day long Deepotsav will mark a new chapter in India’s spiritual and cultural heritage.
Amid this joyous celebration, it’s important to remember those whose presence makes these sacred events complete— sadhus and pilgrims who have journeyed to Ayodhya with devotion in their hearts. These wandering saints dedicate their lives to spirituality, and many arrive tired and hungry.
As thousands of devotees gather to witness this historic Diwali, who will ensure that the hungry are fed and the tired are taken care of?
This year, Ma Vindhya Shakti Welfare Trust is committed to providing meals to sadhus and pilgrims who will throng the city to witness this grand occasion. For the past 10 years, their trust has been dedicated to preserving the spiritual heritage of India by serving sadhus, the elderly, and devotees across key pilgrimage sites such as Vindhyachal Dham, Ayodhya, and Shakti Peeths throughout the country.
Pandit Rajiv Mishra, of Ma Vindhya Shakti Welfare Trust beautifully reminds us:
"Diwali is not just about lighting lamps in our homes, but about lighting the lives of others through acts of kindness. Feeding a sadhu or a pilgrim on this holy occasion brings immeasurable blessings—just as Ram’s return symbolized prosperity and peace, selfless giving can bring light to the darkest corners of someone’s life."
