Ayodhya: The government is making a unique attempt to ensure that the holy city of Ayodhya, also the birthplace of Lord Rama, basks in his glory and grandeur round the clock.
As a part of the central government’s initiative, all over bridges and underpasses in Ayodhya will have paintings, telling different facets of stories related to the life of Lord Rama and his family.
This is being done by Art Attack Colours of Joy, a private company that has been engaged by the central and the state governments.
According to Sidhaant Srivastava, a senior functionary of the company, the initiative intends to make the entire city of Ayodhya dotted with the feel of being the birthplace of Lord Rama.
As a result, the story from the birth of Lord Rama to his fight with sons Luv and Kush is being painted on the walls of the city.
FINE ARTS STUDENTS ARE GIVING A NEW LOOK TO AYODHYA
Preety Pandey, a student of Fine Arts from Varanasi, was very happy when she came to know that she would get a chance to visit Ayodhya.
In this special project, Preety along with her colleagues is painting pictures related to the story of Lord Rama along the highway built in Ayodhya.
Taking the risk amid the movement of high-speed vehicles on highway and harsh weather, Preety is dedicated to the service of Lord Rama.
Another student, Shraddha Dwivedi, said the story of Lord Rama begins with the 'Putreshti Yajna', which was performed by Maharaja Dasharatha at Makhauda Dham before birth of Lord Rama.
Till the Uttara Kanda of Ramayana, the story is being depicted on the walls.
"All of us are drawing pictures of 'Ram Katha' on the high walls through a ladder and a high stand. The work is definitely risky but we are very happy to do this holy work," said Dwivedi.
AYODHYA’S PICTURE TO CHANGE IN A FEW MONTHS
It is worth mentioning that on November 9, 2019, after the Supreme Court gave its verdict on the case related to the disputed Babri Masjid-Ram temple in Ayodhya, after which the land was handed over to Ramlala, more than a dozen big schemes of development have been implemented in Ayodhya.
In order to give a new look to the holy city of Ayodhya, several plans to portray the story of Lord Rama on the walls of the city and highway are also going on these days.
