In a vibrant display of cultural enthusiasm, the Bharat community in California’s Silicon Valley organized a massive rally in honor of the upcoming Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony. Over 1,100 participants, carrying saffron banners featuring the image of the Ram temple, joined a lively car rally that covered a distance of more than 150 km. The procession, led by six dedicated Hindu volunteers, began in Sunnyvale and concluded in Fremont, with devotees dancing joyously at various locations along the route.
The rally reached new heights of excitement as it culminated in a spectacular Tesla car light show. More than 300 Teslas, their lights synchronized in a mesmerizing dance, took center stage in a pre-Ram Mandir celebration. Digital billboard vehicles displayed scenes from the Ramayana, featuring Lord Ram and the grand temple in Ayodhya. The event, granted valid police permission, created a joyous atmosphere, with traditional instruments like dhol nagara adding to the festive spirit.
