Overview

  • Invitation cards will feature the Army, Air Force, and Navy in place of Ram, Sita, and Lakshman, with the committee calling the gesture a dedication to the nation’s heroes.
  • The production will use a three-storey stage roughly 140 feet by 45 feet with about 1.25 lakh LED lights plus 3D projection and AI-driven effects.
  • A replica of the Somnath Mandir will anchor the set, with intricate carvings and gold-plated domes recreated through colorful LED lighting by invited artists.
  • Live telecast is planned on nearly 100 national and international channels, and about 40 Bollywood actors are slated to perform.
  • The committee held the bhoomi pujan at the Red Fort last month with Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta present, as preparations ramp up for Navratri and Durga Puja from September 22 to October 3.
