A large group of people, including the Indian diaspora, gathered near the digital billboard of Ram temple in New York’s Times Square on Wednesday to celebrate the ‘bhoomi poojan’ at Ayodhya.
Approximately 1,000 people of Indian heritage gathered near the world’s biggest digital billboard displaying images of Lord Ram at New York’s Broadway. Broadway clearly looked like a carnival of sorts.
Dressed in traditional attire, many Indians travelled from places near and far to celebrate and be a part of the Ram temple celebrations.

Many lit candles and earthen lamps, exchanged sweets and savouries. Many among them said they would return to celebrate Diwali each year at Times Square.

On Wednesday, New York City witnessed the largest high-definition digital display of Lord Ram and the proposed temple at Ayodhya on Broadway.

The digital display of Lord Ram is said to be one of the most expensive digital billboards of the Hindu deity at Times Square. It lit up at 10 am to celebrate the laying of the temple’s foundation stone by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ayodhya.
