The State’s Kedarkhand tableau which won the third position in this year’s Republic Day parade at Rajpath in the national capital has been placed at the culture department’s under construction museum in Dehradun. It will be recalled that though Uttarakhand had participated in the Republic Day parade on several occasions after State formation, this was the first time when the state’ tableau won an award.
Stating that this was a matter of pride for Uttarakhand, chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat had directed that the tableau be preserved in the museum of the culture department. Tourism secretary Dilip Jawalkar inspected the under-construction museum in the Garhi cantonment area and ascertained the spot for placing the tableau. He also directed officials to properly maintain the tableau. Earlier, it took three days to transport the tableau in a special trailer from Delhi to Dehradun.
The central theme of the Kedarkhand tableau is the Kedarnath temple. After the construction of the culture department museum/auditorium is completed, this tableau will be available for the general public to view.
