Today is said to be a historic day for Indians as we inaugurate the legendary ‘Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir’ in Ayodhya. After the landmark judgement from the Supreme Court in 2019, that ordered the disputed land to be handed over for the construction of the temple, there has been a celebratory mood across India. Since the last two weeks, there has been ample media attention given to the consecration ceremony. Riding on the fame, many brands have come forward to market themselves and to borrow the attention while celebrating the massive cultural phenomenon.
Coca-Cola
As the country awaits the official consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya with bated breath, Coca-Cola has unveiled a unique marketing approach. Departing from its iconic red branding, the company has adopted the temple themed vending machines featuring shades of brown. This strategic move aims to offer a refreshing touch to the influx of pilgrims gathered for the auspicious occasion.
Dabur
Dabur, a brand synonymous with natural products, is making its mark during the Ayodhya festivities as well. The company has partnered with highway dhabas, transforming them with quirky Hajmola props. Pilgrims can engage with samples and branding activities, providing them with a taste of Dabur’s diverse product range, from hair oils to teas.

As part of the association, Mangaldeep has generously donated its flagship dhoop, the ‘Mangaldeep 3 in 1 Dhoop,’ for a significant duration from the Temple’s opening date.
