The Chief Minister said that Garhwal has been described as Kedarkhand and Kumaon as Manaskhand in Puranas. Manskhand has been told in Skandpuran. Jageshwar temple has a lot of religious belief. The Prime Minister has always talked about taking pride in our cultural heritage. Mythological temples of Kumaon region are also being developed on the lines of Char Dham under “Manaskhand” Mandir Mala Mission.
Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami had suggested the theme of the tableau
The subject/title of the tableau sent to the Government of India was suggested by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. He suggested this subject as Manaskhand under Mandir Mala Mission.
The seriousness of the tableau construction can also be gauged from the fact that when the tableau was being constructed in Delhi Cantt, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, while inspecting the tableau, gave notice for making the tableau excellent and according to the culture of the state. Joint Director/Nodal Officer of the department K S Chouhan was given instructions and after meeting the artists of the tableau, he also gave his best wishes.
This is how the final selection of the tableau happens
In the month of September, the Government of India invites proposals from all the States, Union Territories and Ministries. By October, the State Governments select the subject and send the proposal to the Government of India. After that the Government of India invites the works for presentation.
In the first meeting, a design has to be prepared and presented on the basis of the subject in a chart paper. While making necessary amendments, three meetings are held in the context of design creation, the states whose designs are not found by the committee are shortlisted. After that the model of the tableau is made. After the model, a theme song of 50 seconds duration is prepared which reflects the culture of that region. In this way, when the expert committee of the Government of India is satisfied from all levels, then the final selection of the tableau is done.
