FollowAyodhya: Under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, preparations for Deepotsav are in full swing, transforming Ayodhya into a vision of Treta Yuga for three days (October 28 to 30). Ramnagari is being beautifully adorned, and, in a unique initiative, a striking ‘Pushpak Viman’ is being crafted, captivating all who see it.
With Ramlala now seated in the grand temple, this year’s Deepotsav will be celebrated on an even grander scale to mark Lord Ram's arrival. The event will feature 25 lakh diyas illuminating 55 ghats, including Ram Ki Paidi. For the first time, 10,000 local residents will also have the opportunity to participate in the festival, making this Deepotsav a truly community-centered celebration.
The Tourism Department has appointed agencies for the beautification of Ayodhya, including Vivid India Advertising and Marketing Company. According to Savina Jaitley from the company, a 'Pushpak Viman' is being constructed at the rear of Lata Chowk using eco-friendly canvas instead of flex to keep Ayodhya pollution-free. Standing at 36 feet high and 24 feet wide, this Pushpak Viman will sit two feet off the ground and serve as a selfie spot.
The 'Pushpak Viman' will feature fiber statues of Mata Sita, Lord Ram, his three brothers, and Hanuman. Lord Ram’s statue will be 5 feet 10 inches, Mata Sita’s 5 feet 4 inches, with Hanuman seated at their feet.
Jaitley noted that while her team has arrived from Delhi and Lucknow, the artisans are local. An eight-foot-high Ram Darbar is also being constructed at Ram Ki Paidi, where the deities will be seated, alongside 11 themed gates throughout Ayodhya Dham, including three within Ram Katha Park.
To further adorn the path to the Ram temple, four main gates will be decorated and 10 quintals of flowers have been ordered for this.
