16th October 2024: The Ramayana Cultural Centre, located in the Koradi Temple complex near Nagpur, is all set to become an exceptional destination in the country-India’s New Tourism Hub-an integration of spirituality, patriotism, and cultural heritage. The Ramayana Cultural Centre, inaugurated by Hon’ble President of India Smt. Droupadi Murmu, not only aims to bring India’s rich cultural heritage to life but also aims to boost tourism and other development factors in the region.
The Centre (www.koraditemple.com), an initiative by Chandrashekhar Bawankule, is an extraordinary place of cultural and spiritual significance, with a focus on showcasing the Ramayana through art and storytelling. The center features the “Ramayana Darshanam Hall,” which contains over 120 detailed oil paintings depicting scenes from the Ramayana, bringing the epic to life for visitors. This hall, combined with intricate sculptures, and a towering black granite Hanuman statue, serves as a visual treat for devotees and visitors alike. Here, beautifully rendered paintings tell the timeless story of Lord Rama, from his birth to his eventual coronation as king. This immersive experience allows visitors to reconnect with India’s mythological heritage, and the vivid depiction of Ramayana’s key moments makes it an enriching visit for people of all ages.
Visitors from all walks of life, especially the younger generation, are encouraged to explore the teachings and values embedded in the Ramayana. The centre is an important cultural and educational hub. It promises to become a significant cultural landmark not just for devotees but for all who wish to connect with India’s epic stories and history. Ramayana Cultural Centre is more than just a religious landmark—it is a living tribute to India’s deep-rooted spiritual heritage and cultural richness.
As a native of the region, BJP State President-Maharashtra Chandrashekhar Bawankule has played a significant role in shaping local initiatives, including his efforts to boost religious and cultural tourism in the area. Bawankule’s mission to position Koradi as a center for both spiritual reflection and cultural education reflect his commitment to the region’s development and his aim to preserve and promote India’s rich heritage. He has been a pivotal figure in promoting the Koradi complex as a hub for cultural and spiritual enrichment.
