Massive Fire Breaks Out at Shri Lakshmi Narayan Mahayagya Site in Ayodhya’s Rajghat

AYODHYA, March 28, 2026 — A major fire erupted earlier today at the Shri Lakshmi Narayan Mahayagya site located at Rajghat in Ayodhya, sparking a large-scale emergency response.

The blaze broke out under mysterious circumstances at the venue where the religious congregation, organized by Swami Jiyar Ji Maharaj, had just concluded its final ceremonies yesterday.

Multiple fire tenders were rushed to the spot immediately after the flames were reported, with firefighters working strenuously to contain the inferno and prevent it from spreading to adjacent structures.

While the fire caused significant panic in the area, the exact cause of the ignition remains unknown and is currently under investigation by local authorities.

Preliminary reports suggest that the fire spread rapidly through the temporary structures erected for the Mahayagya.

Fortunately, as the event had officially culminated a day prior, the site was not as crowded as during the peak of the rituals, though officials are still assessing the full extent of the property damage.

Police and fire department personnel remain stationed at Rajghat to ensure the situation is fully stabilized and to conduct a thorough safety audit of the premises.
