A unique festival to rejuvenate Indian art, spirituality, and values ‘Ayodhya Parv 2025’ is organized in New Delhi through the collaboration of IGNCA and Shri Ayodhya Nyas.
The three-day cultural celebration commenced at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), marked by the inauguration of three remarkable exhibitions—one featuring Padma Shri Vasudev Kamath’s paintings based on ‘Maryada Purushottam’ (Lord Ram), a display of Pahari miniature paintings based on the ‘Valmiki Ramayana’, and a thematic exhibition titled ‘Badi Hai Ayodhya’ that portrays the pilgrimage landscape of Chaurasi Kos Ayodhya.
Each dignitary shared their reflections on the spiritual and cultural eminence of Lord Ram and Ayodhya. Three books were also released during the inaugural session. Union Minister of Culture and Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat visited and viewed the exhibitions on the occasion.
Gajendra Singh Shekhawat extended his congratulations to IGNCA and the Ayodhya Nyas for organising the ‘Ayodhya Parv’ and wished the event great success. He remarked that the character of Lord Rama has not only inspired Indian thought and individuals working across diverse fields, but has also provided the energy and direction necessary to sustain the continuous flow of Indian culture.
He noted that during the most difficult period of cultural invasion by foreign aggressors, Goswami Tulsidas composed the ‘Ramcharitmanas’ in the language of the common people, connecting with the collective consciousness of ordinary individuals.
This, he said, made a significant contribution to preserving the essence of Sanatan culture. Since the reinstallation of the Ram Mandir and the return of Ram Lalla to Ayodhya Dham, it appears as though the sun of India’s destiny has begun to rise once again.
