Despite objections from some organisations in the US, a carnival float with the image of Ayodhya’s Ram temple was included in the India Day parade in New York City on Sunday.
The tableau depicted the temple of Lord Ram, which was consecrated in Ayodhya earlier this year.
Visuals showed the tableau decorated with garlands while members of the Indian diaspora dressed in traditional attire and waving the Indian tricolour celebrated and danced on the streets of New York City.
Several Bollywood actors including Sonakshi Sinha and her husband Zaheer Iqbal attended the India Day parade in New York.
