As the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya nears with Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to take part in the consecration of the Ram Lalla idol on January 22, DD National released a sneak peek into the Ram Mandir on Saturday. The clip showcases the architecture of the temple, and captures the preparations ahead of the ceremony.
The city is also decked up for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, with flyovers decorated with artworks of Lord Ram, donning his bow and arrow, and ornamental lampposts carrying designs themed on the traditional ‘Ramanandi tilak’. In a video released by the government, flower statues of Lord Ram and Hanuman are erected around the Mandir, with paintings of Hindu gods drawn on walls across the temple town.
Big LED screens have been put up at various places and the Ramayana is being broadcast every evening. Ramlilas, Bhagwat Kathas, Bhajan sandhyas and cultural programmes are underway in different places across the city.
Some of the trees on Dharm Path near the Lata Mangeshkar Chowk have been decorated with special pieces made with inverted baskets and lights, adding to the aesthetic feel of the revamped holy city, reported PTI.
Besides Ramayana graffiti on both sides of the roads, bus shelters along the Ram Path have been decorated with artworks themed on the Ramayana, catching the eyes of passersby.
