The Yogi Adityanath government is set to elevate the grandeur of Deepotsav in Ayodhya with an extraordinary aerial drone show. The event will feature a stunning display using 500 drones adorned with colourful lights which will captivate the sky of Ayodhya.
The show is scheduled to last for 15 minutes and will be a key highlight of the main Deepotsav festivities, showcasing the capabilities of drones Made in India. The attendees will witness the ‘veer mudra’ of Lord Shri Ram, Laxman and Hanuman, brought to life through a dazzling presentation of laser lights, voiceovers and musical narration.
The display will also feature depictions of Ravan Vadh, Pushpak Viman, Deepotsav, Ram Darbar, Valmiki, Tulsidas and the Ram temple. This enchanting spectacle is sure to mesmerise the audience. Additionally, the logos of Deepotsav, the UP government, and the Tourism department will also be prominently featured in the sky.
In preparation for this momentous occasion, which marks the first Deepotsav since the idol of Ram Lalla was enshrined in the grand temple, no effort is being spared to ensure its magnificence. The aerial drone show will adhere to international standards. A rehearsal is scheduled for October 29, a day before the Deepotsav, to ensure seamless coordination and accurate drone formations. The show will take place at Ram Ki Paidi.
The event will feature a plan to create 15 captivating formations in the sky. To facilitate this, a detailed storyboard with animation will be developed and submitted for approval to the Uttar Pradesh Tourism department.
A variety of processes, including concept development, screenplay creation, background music composition, voiceovers, narration and laser light effects, will support the aerial formations and work on these elements is already underway.
At Ram Ki Paidi, inspirational moments from the life of Lord Ram will be showcased through a laser light and sound presentation. While laser and sound shows are held daily at Ram Ki Paidi, this annual event remains a highlight during Deepotsav.
Alongside the drone show, the sound and laser display will feature artistically designed green firecrackers, enhancing the atmosphere and illuminating the skies over Ayodhya and the event venue.
