Valsad (Gujarat): In a demonstration of artistic abilities and creative skills, students and artisans created a 1,000-meter Warli painting in Gujarat's Valsad, showcasing events leading up to the building of Ayodhya's Ram Temple.
About 4,000 students and 200 artisans worked for six hours to create the 1,000-meter painting that will be presented as a gift to the Ayodhya Ram Temple.
Ahead of the much-awaited Ram Temple consecration ceremony, gifts and idols are being sent from all over the country to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
The Warli painting was created in the Dharampur area of the Valsad district. The AD Foundation and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), in collaboration with about 4,000 students from the tribal area and about 200 artisans across the country, prepared the one-kilometre Warli painting.
"All the events from the demolition of Babri Masjid to the construction of Ram Temple have been depicted through Warli art. After preparation of one kilometre, the Warli art painting will be sent to Ayodhya," BJP MLA from Dharampur constituency, Arvindbhai Patel said while speaking to ANI.
