Coming to Ayodhya on Diwali This Year, A 500-Drone Aerial Show to Showcase Lord Ram’s Story

About 500 drones will fly and light up the Ayodhya sky on the eve of Diwali on November 3 as part of a unique ‘Aerial Drone Show’ being conceived by the Yogi Adityanath government for the first time during the ‘Deepotsav’.

The idea is to make the event this year “more grand” with the unique concept of a 10-12 minute long night aerial drone show. At the Tokyo Olympic Games, for example, 1,824 drones were launched into the sky by Intel to form the Olympics’ Kabuki-inspired checkered emblem that hung large in the night sky and seamlessly transitioned into the iconic globe.

At Ayodhya, the Uttar Pradesh government wants the aerial drone show to be done by an agency to showcase the story of the return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya and the Ramayana thorough animation and stimulation. “It is expected of the agency to deliver the show of international standards with latest technology,” says a UP government proposal in this regard.
