With just 7days left for the ‘Pran Pratishta’ ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Indians across the world have started celebrating the historic event in various ways. Indians in the United States organised a massive car rally in New Jersey’s Edison on Saturday. As many as 350 cars participated in the rally and videos of the event have gone viral on the internet. In the video shared by news agency ANI, people of the Hindu community can be seen holding flags inscribed with images of Lord Ram.
In the run-up to the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) of America has masterminded a unique celebration. The organization arranged a dazzling Tesla Musical Light show in Maryland, combining technological innovation with cultural expression. This elaborate display of lighting sequences, synchronized with music and powered by Tesla electric vehicles, reflects a new era of eco-friendly community celebrations.
Over 150 Tesla cars participated in the light show. The EVs were parked strategically in the ‘Ram’ formation. Indian Americans from Washington, Virginia and Maryland beamed bright and colourful from Tesla bars. The light show was synchronised to the tunes of Jai Shri Ram.
With the inauguration of the Ram Mandir set for January 22, 2024, the global Hindu community has been gearing up for the event with a series of preparations and festivities. Among these, the Tesla Musical Light show stands out for its remarkable fusion of tradition and modernity. The event drew attendees from the Hindu community in America, serving to unify them in anticipation of the temple’s consecration.
The choice of Tesla electric vehicles for the musical light show signals a conscious shift towards more sustainable practices within community celebrations. This decision not only underscores the community’s commitment to environmental conservation but also adds a layer of modernity to the event, blending age-old traditions with contemporary innovation.
This light show serves as a precursor to the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony of the Ram Mandir, a temple dedicated to the deity Lord Ram. The temple’s construction has been underway following a historic Supreme Court verdict in India, and its inauguration is eagerly awaited by Hindus worldwide. As part of the lead-up to this momentous occasion, the VHP of America’s Tesla Musical Light show offers a glimpse of the excitement and zeal within the Hindu community.
The billboards have also gone up in Texas, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Georgia, among other states. Additionally, Arizona and the State of Missouri are set to join this visual celebration starting Monday, January 15, according to the VHP, American chapter.
The resounding message conveyed by these billboards is that Hindu Americans are elated and joyously participating in this once-in-a-lifetime event. Their emotions overflow as they eagerly await the auspicious day of the consecration ceremony.
The Hindu community in New Jersey is brimming with joy, eagerly anticipating the upcoming Car Rally, Exhibition, Curtain Raiser, Billboards across New York New Jersey, and the grand celebration slated for the 21st night. The enthusiasm is palpable, with members from Mandirs across NJ eagerly looking forward to this once-in-a-generation event.
