R-Day tableau on Ayodhya to be taken across UP

Lucknow, Jan 29 : The Uttar Pradesh tableau for Republic Day, which depicted Ayodhya with the upcoming grand Ram temple, will now be taken across major districts of the state.
The tableau which won the first prize in the Republic Day parade, will be taken across the state to enable people to have a closer look at it, amidst chanting of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and showering of flower petals.
The Ayodhya tableau included snapshots of ‘Deepotsav’ depicted through earthen lamps and various stories from the Ramayana along with a giant statue of sage Valmiki.
Murals depicting Nishadraj embracing Lord Ram, Ahalya’s salvation, Hanuman bringing Sanjeevani booti, Jatayu-Rama dialogue, Ashoka Vatika of Lanka King were also brought alive in the tableau.
According to sources, the idea behind taking the tableau across the state is to give a ‘sense of pride’ to the people about the upcoming temple in Ayodhya.
Additional Chief Secretary (Information), Navneet Sehgal, said that the tableau has displayed a glimpse of Ram temple’s rich heritage and culture. He said that the portrayal of Ram temple at such a huge occasion is a matter of pride and immense happiness.
