A replica of the Ram Mandir will be showcased during the India Day parade in New York on August 18. This event draws thousands of Indian Americans from in and around New York.

 

According to Amitabh Mittal, the general secretary of Vishva Hindu Parishad of America (VHPA), the temple replica will measure 18 feet in length, nine feet in width, and eight feet in height. This marks the first time a Ram Mandir replica has been displayed in the United States.

 

The annual India Day Parade in New York is the largest celebration of India's Independence Day outside India. Typically, over 150,000 individuals attend the parade, which stretches from East 38th Street to East 27th Street in Midtown, New York.

 

The parade, arranged by the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA), will feature numerous floats showcasing different Indian American communities and a wide range of cultural expressions parading through the streets of New York.

 

Recently, the VHPA-A conducted a Rath Yatra for the Ram Mandir, which travelled to 851 temples across 48 states over a 60-day period.
