The tableau has been built by a team of 60 artists in three months. The main trailer part of the tableau is adorned with a huge auditorium while the tractor part features two pillars like the Kirti-Toran.
The ‘Tippani Dance’ will be presented by 12 Gujarati women artists clad in traditional ‘Jimmy Dress’ to thrill the Raj Path with their rhythmic steps on the tableau.
