With meticulous attention to detail, the committee is set to bring these divine incarnations to life through a captivating display of sculptures and multimedia presentations.
The sprawling grounds of West Kachudaram have been transformed into a divine canvas where the tales from ancient scriptures come alive. This year's theme includes the awe-inspiring stories of Vishnu's incarnations, such as Narasimha, Rama, Matsya, Varaha, Parashuram, Brahman, Krishna, Buddha, Kalki, and Kurma. Each avatar is meticulously portrayed through carefully crafted idols and multimedia installations, ensuring an immersive experience for devotees and visitors alike.
One of the highlights of the celebration is the use of a vast pond to depict Vishnu's second avatar, Kurma, the fish incarnation, and Varaha, the boar incarnation. Additionally, the epic battle between Lord Rama and Ravana is ingeniously brought to life, with battle scenes projected more than 15 meters above the ground, creating a breathtaking visual spectacle.
To capture the essence of each avatar, the puja committee has employed 35 expertly crafted idols, each ranging from 8 to 10 feet in height. The entire presentation is complemented by carefully curated lighting and sound effects, enhancing the immersive experience for the attendees.
