Excitement in India is palpable, as a decades-long dream of a Ram Mandir at Ayodhya turns to reality on January 22 - the date set for inauguration of the Ram temple.?
Devotees are commemorating the event in their own unique styles, from a 10-foot painting of Lord Ram to crafting a Ram Mandir on wheels, to even a Mandir made of Parle-G biscuits!?
The 'Pran Prathishtha' event is expected to conclude by 1 pm on January 22, while the temple will be open for 'darshan' for the general public from January 23.
An Amritsar-based artist, also a devotee of Lord Rama, has made a more than life-size 10 foot painting of Lord Ram, which he wishes can be installed in the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.?
Artist Jagjot Singh Rubal has said that he made the 10 foot painting with his hands using acrylic colours.?
The painting depicts Lord Ram standing behind the Ram Mandir.?
"I have made this painting with great devotion for January 22. India had a dream when would the Ram temple be built? The size of this painting is 7 feet by 10 feet and I started making it on January 1. It is my wish that this painting should be installed in the Ram Mandir," he said.?
Hyderabad-based Sudha Car Museum has shown its expertise in technology by blending it with art.?
The museum has crafted a mobile masterpiece - a model of the Ayodhya Ram Temple mounted on a car, thus capturing the essence of devotion in a moving spectacle.?
Their motive? To bring Ayodhya to those people who cant't visit Ayodhya.?
"Since everyone can't go and visit Ayodhya, we will take Ayodhya to their doorstep," says Sudhakar Yadav, the mind behind the model car.?
Yadav is known for making whacky designs and has also received a Guinness Record title for the most number of wacky cars, from a car shaped like a cricket bat and ball to cheer the Indian team to a Christmas tree-shaped car.
An artist, Chotan Ghosh Monu from West Bengal's Durgapur, built a Ram Mandir with 20 Kgs of Parle-G biscuits.
Monu took five days to make the four feet by four feet replica and it is now open for everyone to visit in Bengal's Durgapur.
