He has written in the post that my heart beats for Punjab. The tableau is mesmerizing. I could not stop myself from taking pictures of this tableau.
These four things will be special in the tableau
1. Dr. Randeep Singh Ahluwalia, who reached Delhi with this tableau, while talking to the media said that the tableau of Punjab has been shown in four parts. In the front part of the trailer, Punjab is an agricultural state, so in the first part there is a pair of oxen ploughing. Which symbolizes that Punjab has an important contribution in making the country self-reliant in the field of grains.
2. The folk music of Punjab is known all over the world. A scene of folk music has been shown in traditional attire. In it, artists have been shown with old musical instruments of Punjab.
3. The third part of the tableau is also very important. In this, a girl from Punjab is shown sitting outside her house and doing embroidery on Phulkari. This shows the old heritage of Punjab.
4. In the fourth part of the tableau, Baba Sheikh Farid, the first Punjabi poet of Punjab, has been shown. Because of him, Punjabi literature is touching new heights. At the same time, the carpets made at home by the women of Punjab were displayed on the trailer part. Apart from this, there are scenes of Phulkari.
Floats were rejected last year
Last year, the central government had canceled the tableaux of 26 January and the Defense Ministry had also said that Punjab’s tableau would be sent to Bharat Parv in Delhi. At that time, the Chief Minister of the state Bhagwant Mann had said that he would not send Punjab’s tableau in the rejected category.
Also, Punjab’s tableaux will be taken out in Punjab and Delhi only. So that people can be made aware of the rich heritage of Punjab. CM Mann had said that we know how to respect the sacrifices of our martyrs Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Singh, Lala Lajpat Rai, Udham Singh, Mai Bhago, Kartar Singh Sarabha, Gadri Babe and Maharaja Ranjit Singh.
Floats were taken from village to village
After the tableaux were rejected last year, CM Bhagwant Mann had ordered that the tableaux of Punjab, which were excluded from the parade to be held in Delhi on Republic Day on 26 January, will go to every street and locality of the state till the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
The Punjab government had planned that the tableaux would be taken around Punjab in the same style as they are shown in the Republic Day parade. They were decorated on trolleys and taken to every village of each assembly constituency.
