Titled ‘Maryada Purushottam Shriram Jeevan Charitra,’ the competition will be in the fields of painting, essay, poetry, and drama, with themes and topics related to Ram.

“The competition aims to introduce the younger generation to the inspiring qualities, skills, and ideals of Bhagwan Shri Ramchandra and the concept of Ramrajya,” said Lodha, who conceptualized the competition. “Bhagwan Shriram stands as an ideal for the entire society, consistently adhering to the commands of his parents and epitomizing ideal brotherly love. Through this competition, children will gain insights into these aspects.”

For example, the painting competition includes topics such as creating the Shriram Temple of my Dreams, My Superhero, Veer Hanuman, The Defeat of Ravana, and Ram Setu.
