UP tableau bags People’s Choice Award at R-Day parade

Wednesday, 29 January 2025 | PNS | Lucknow

Uttar Pradesh’s tableau, titled ‘Maha Kumbh 2025 – Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas’, has won first place in the People’s Choice Award category with 40 per cent of the votes (25,007).

The tableau beautifully showcased the grandeur of the Maha Kumbh, recognised as an ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’, highlighting the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers in Prayagraj as the world’s largest gathering of humanity.‘

Centered on spirituality, heritage, development and digital progress, the tableau featured a grand replica of the ‘Amrit Kalash’, with flowing ‘Amritdhara’. Depictions of sages, saints performing ‘shankhnaad’ and ‘sadhna’, and devotees taking holy dips in the Sangam brought alive the spiritual essence of Maha Kumbh 2025.

Under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s leadership, the tableau celebrated UP’s blend of tradition and progress, mesmerising audiences worldwide.

The trailer’s panel of UP’s Republic Day tableau beautifully depicted the journey of akharas and devotees heading for the Amrit (Shahi) snan, using intricate murals and LED screens.

The trailer platform brought the mythological tale of Samudra Manthan to life, highlighting the spiritual and historical significance of Maha Kumbh. At the rear, the tableau showcased the 14 divine gems that emerged from the Samudra Manthan, symbolising the rich heritage of the festival.

The tableau also highlighted the technological advancements in organising Maha Kumbh 2025, featuring a hi-tech Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) as a symbol of the exceptional measures taken for security and crowd management.

Additionally, the procession of akharas for the Maha Kumbh festival bath was broadcast via LED screens, symbolising the fusion of tradition and technology that defines Maha Kumbh 2025.
