Doordarshan Plans 4K Live Coverage of Ram Temple with 40 Cameras

Doordarshan plans to enhance its coverage of the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya, including the new Ram temple complex, by installing nearly 40 cameras at various locations. The live broadcast, utilizing cutting-edge 4K technology, will extend beyond the main temple premises to feature live visuals from significant spots such as Ram ki Paidi near Saryu ghat and the Jatayu statue at Kuber Tila. Multiple channels will carry the live coverage, ensuring a comprehensive and immersive viewing experience for the audience.

Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Secretary, Apurva Chandra, announced that Doordarshan is set to broadcast the 'pran pratishtha' of the Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22 in cutting-edge 4K technology. This live coverage, spanning various locations and channels, will be available in different languages. More than 7,000 guests, including dignitaries and sadhus from across the country, have been invited to the ceremony attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Uttar Pradesh government and Ayodhya administration are leaving no stone unturned in preparations for the event, with the entire city being adorned for the occasion. The Ram temple complex will open to the public from January 23, following the grand ceremony. With about 40 live cameras strategically placed at locations like Ram ki Paidi and the temple complex, the coverage aims to capture every significant moment, including the Prime Minister's events. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra is actively preparing for the ceremony, and the city will be virtually fortified on the big day.

The 'pran pratishtha' is scheduled for 12:20 pm on January 22, with additional events and preparations showcased in a special laser show at Ram ki Paidi. The Information and Broadcasting Ministry officials have collaborated with local and state administrations to set up a media center for journalists covering the consecration ceremony. Doordarshan's extensive preparations involve around 250 staff members and aim to provide a comprehensive and visually enhanced experience for viewers.
