Child form idol of Lord Ram Lalla was showcased in the Uttar Pradesh's tableau in this year's Republic Day parade marching down the majestic Kartavaya Path today.

The front portion of the Uttar Pradesh tableau highlighted the consecration ceremony that took place in Ayodhya with an artistic model depicting Lord Ram in a young avatar holding a bow and arrow.

According to officials as quoted by news agency PTI, the tableau symbolised Ayodhya as a city that signifies a "Viksit Bharat" with "Samriddh Virasat".

"The frill surrounding the tableau portrays 'Deepotsav - the festival of lights initiated by the state government to commemorate Bhagwan Shri Ram's arrival in Ayodhya," according to a description of the tableau provided in an official booklet on the 75th Republic Day celebrations.

The trailer portion of the tableau reflects Uttar Pradesh's path to progress and its pace, propelled by cultural heritage.

The tableau also showcased the first ever high speed RRTS which stands for Regional Rapid Transit System.

The tableau also featured two sadhus with a "kalash" symbol, emblematic of the upcoming Magh Mela in Prayagraj and the Mahakumbh to be held in 2025.

A group of women artists accompanying the tableau were seen performing traditional dances 'Charkula' and 'Wadhwa, popular in the West UPs's Braj region. It also illustrates how the folk festival inspired by the "leelas" of Lord Krishna is an integral aspect of the cultural heritage, the description added.

A screen was mounted on the tableau which displayed the images of fast-paced construction work of the world's fourth largest international airport, Jewar Airport or the Noida International Aiport.
