2020 has almost ended and the first Gazetted Holiday of the year is the country’s ‘Republic Day’, observed on 26th January. Every year, every state showcases its talent in the Tableau that the state represents.
In the coming year, Uttar Pradesh’s tableau is said to represent the grandeur of the upcoming Ram temple in Ayodhya as a symbol of social-religious harmony. The tradition, art and culture of Ayodhya and Lord Ram in respect to several counties will also be a part of the tableau apart from the Ram Temple. The tableau titled ‘Uttar Pradesh ki sanskritik dharohar: Ayodhya (Ayodhya: Cultural Heritage of Uttar Pradesh)’ is being prepared by the state information department for the Republic Day parade.
During the meeting held in Delhi related to the Tableau, the Uttar Pradesh Government that is led by Yogi Adityanath, had sent a proposal for the tableau.
A teaser of the annual tradition followed in UP of the Deepotsav in Ayodhya will also be a tiny part of the tableau.
