Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar gears up for grand celebrations

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Excitement fills the air as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar prepares for a grand celebration coinciding with the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. At the heart of the festivities is the arrival of a magnificent brass Shri Ram Darbar idol from Aligarh, set to be unveiled in a vibrant procession on Monday.

The Hindu Dharmarakshak Mitra Mandal and Bhandi Bazaar Traders Association have commissioned the creation of this majestic idol, crafted in Aligarh. Standing tall at 4 feet and weighing 125 kg, the brass masterpiece depicts Lord Shri Ram, Lakshman, Sita, and Hanuman in meticulous detail.

Two and a half months of dedicated craftsmanship went into bringing this divine image to life. A live telecast of the Ram Mandir ceremony on a large LED wall in Bhandibazar will be held from 11 am to 12.30 pm. A dazzling Deepotsav featuring 1,100 lights will illuminate the cityscape, followed by a breathtaking fireworks display at 6 pm.
