According to the official spokesman, the tourism department has been asked to prepare for the event and submit proposals for the same.
"There will be three trials of the event before the main event takes place. An estimated 7,000 volunteers will participate in the lighting of diyas," the spokesman said.
Diwali, this year, falls on November 4 and the event is likely to be held a day earlier.
