New Delhi [India], October 5 (ANI): As Delhi is gearing up for Dussehra celebrations, the Sri Ram Lila society has claimed to have erected the tallest Ravan effigy in India, standing at an impressive 211 feet tall in Sector 10 of Dwarka here.
The organisers have also sent an invitation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
According to the Sri Ram Lila society, it took 4 months to prepare and install this structure.
Speaking to ANI, Rajesh Gehlot, Chairman of the organizing committee, said, “As we can see, sin is increasing in the society so this effigy is depicting the increasing sins and we will burn them all on Dusherra, that is, on October 12, 2024. We have invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the ceremony and we are hopeful for positive reply. We have sent the invitation to other BJP leaders as well.”
He shared that the theme of this year’s Ramlila decorations and events is inspired by the old Ram Mandir temple in Ayodhya, which was demolished. The entry gates are designed in the style of South Indian temples, known as ‘Gopuram’. He also highlighted that they strive to present Ramleela in the most beautiful way possible, with careful attention to decorations and artist performances.
To ensure the success of this event, the committee has conducted auditions for over 400 artists from across Delhi NCR, selecting fresh talent. These artists undergo three months of practice before performing live on stage, with dedicated directors overseeing every aspect of the production.
Amid these celebrations, the committee has heightened the security, with over 50 Delhi Police personnel, 200 volunteers and 100+ civil officers safeguarding the venue. The DCP receives daily reports, and the SHO conducts regular rounds to maintain safety. (ANI)
