Surat : The world’s diamond capital is preparing to sparkle like never before, not with the brilliance of cut gems, but with the luminous glow of devotion. As the Ram Temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya dawns, the diamond markets of Varachha and Mahidhapura, along with over 200 diamond companies, will transform into a radiant tapestry of light and joy.
“There is a unique joy among the people associated with the diamond industry for the consecration of the Ram Temple,” said Jagdish Khunt, president of the Surat Diamond Association (SDA). This sentiment rings true throughout the district, where the air thrums with the anticipation of a momentous occasion.
From January 18th to 22nd, the diamond factories and markets will be adorned with saffron flags, the color symbolizing purity and auspiciousness, and vibrant illuminations that will paint the night sky with a festive palette. The entire stretch from Varachha main road to the Mini Bazaar diamond market will be transformed into a dazzling corridor of light, a testament to the industry’s collective fervor.
“All the diamond factory owners have been urged to illuminate their respective factory premises with colourful lightings,” Khunt elaborated, emphasizing the spirit of shared celebration that permeates the district. This widespread participation ensures that the diamond capital will not only shimmer, but radiate the warmth of faith and unity.
The culmination of this radiant journey will arrive on the evening of January 22nd, with a grand fireworks display planned at the Mini Bazaar diamond market. As rockets paint the sky with streaks of color, the joyous cheers of the diamond community will echo through the streets, celebrating not just the consecration of a temple, but the triumph of hope and devotion.
But the celebrations won’t be confined to the streets. “The entire event of the consecration ceremony will be telecast live on the big LED screens at all the big diamond companies and diamond markets in Varachha and Mahidharpura,” Khunt revealed. This ensures that no one in the diamond district will miss a single moment of this historic occasion, allowing them to witness the consecration ceremony from the comfort of their workplaces, surrounded by the familiar gleam of diamonds that now reflect a deeper, spiritual light.
