Times Square to display Lord Rama's portraits during Ayodhya event

American India Public Affairs Committee has made arrangements to celebrate Ayodhya temple's groundbreaking event in New York. The committee would use Times Square's giant Nasdaq screen and the 17,000-square-foot wrap-around LED screen to display Lord Rama's portraits.

New York: Images of Lord Rama and 3D portraits of the grand Rama Temple in Ayodhya will be beamed across the giant billboards in the iconic Times Square here on August 5 to celebrate the temple's groundbreaking ceremony, with organisers describing the commemoration as one-of-a-kind and historic event.

Prominent community leader and president of the American India Public Affairs Committee Jagdish Sewhani on Wednesday said that arrangements are being made to celebrate the historic moment in New York on August 5, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

Sewhani said that among the prominent billboards that are being leased for the occasion are the giant Nasdaq screen and the 17,000-square-foot wrap-around LED display screen, considered among the largest continuous exterior displays in the world and the highest-resolution exterior LED screen in Times Square.
