New Delhi: To pay tribute to Lord Ram and to celebrate the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ (consecration) ceremony on January 22, a former officer of the Indian Navy skydived from 10,000 feet in Thailand holding a big flag with Jai Shri Ram written on it. The feat of Lt.cdr Rajkumar (Retd) who jumped from an altitude of 10,000 feet with the flag has been posted as a video by All India Radio on its official handle on Instagram.
At the start of the video, Rajkumar can be seen gearing up. With everything ready, he can be seen walking towards an aircraft. He is wearing a helmet, a harness, parachute backpack and carries in his hands something that looks like a bag with military fatigues.
When the aircraft reaches the pre-determined altitude, Rajkumar and his fellow skydivers can be seen giving each other high-fives. With some last-minute adjustments, the fearless men take steps towards the opening at the side of the plane that shows a straight drop towards the ground. Rajkumar jumps out, so do others, and when he opens his parachute mid-air, the flag with Jai Shree Ram can be seen unfurled.
The retired Indian Navy sailor smoothly manoeuvres through the air charting his path of descent before finally landing on the ground.
