Prabhu Sri Ram has a very important place in Hindu Dharma and Ramayan is the first Hindu itihas in the form of a Mahakavya. One can now get the journey of Bhagwan Ram on canvas from birth to return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravan. The website describes the venture as a marriage of art and technology tracing the journey of Maryada Purushottam on Bharat’s map of 5000 BCE.
Bharatiyas would now be able to view a unique map of ancient Bharat going back 7000 years. The best feature of the map is that it shows both ancient as well as modern names of historically relevant places. It also has a refresher with location and descriptions of Ramayan’s key events that’ll help familiarize children and those unfamiliar with the same.
The map has been created using advanced geospatial technology to show a scaled map in both kilometres and yojanas. It is printed and designed on a canvas with a nice textured feel and antique-styled cartography. Another unique feature is it contains present-day Bharat’s map on which locations relevant to the Mahakavya have been plotted which will enable users to co-relate age-old legends with their modern locations.
“This initiative is very close to my heart. To me, leveraging the MapmyIndia Mappls platform and cutting-edge technology to create a map of Ramayan, is like a state of self-actualization, where my life’s work meets my spiritual being. Prabhu Shri Ram is the very soul of India, and his journey is the journey of India into an age of peace, prosperity and enlightenment. It brings forth the message and significance of Shri Ram to the audience, young and old, in a simple intelligible format, highlighting the greatness of our ancient civilisation.”, reads a message by Rakesh Verma, Co-founder, Chairman and Managing Director.
The detailing highlights the efforts that have gone into making this rare masterpiece. The map is available in both Hindi and English in the form of a roll-up canvas as well as framed canvas. This can count as a unique way of telling the epic that’ll help the younger generation to connect with their Dharmic roots. Furthermore, in addition to being a prized possession, it can also be a great gift this festive season.
It is surely a marriage of art and technology that takes us back to a time when Prabhu Ram walked the earth!
