The audience has seen many forms of Ramayana. Many people have tried to make this great story live on the small screen. But not everyone is successful. Only Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana and Anand Sagar's Ramayana had created a different place in the heart of the audience. Gurmeet Chaudhary got a lot of popularity as Ram and Debina Banerjee as Sita. Although every scene of Ramayana is amazing and beautiful, everyone gets emotional by seeing Ram-Sita's swayamvar. At the same time, that scene was brought alive before the eyes by Ramanand Sagar and Anand Sagar. Now everyone knows a lot about Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana, but special preparations were also made to make Anand Sagar's Ramayana. In the Ramayana of Anand Sagar, a lot of hard work was done to make Ram Sita Swayamvar grand.

The process of bringing the flowers which were used at the time of swayamvara was completely different and surprising. 100 kg flowers were used only for Ram-Sita Swayamvar. The shooting of Ramayana was done in Baroda, but the flowers used in Swayamvar were brought from Mumbai, that too through airplanes. For the number of days the shooting of Ram-Sita Swayamvar went on, the journey from Baroda to Mumbai was done daily. A special set of 100x100 meters was also designed just for this scene. About this experience, Shahab Shamsi, Creative Director of Ramayana, says - Ram-Sita Swayamvar is considered to be the most beautiful moment in human history. This scene was shot in Baroda when the temperature was 42 degrees. There was no facility of AC. Flowers were also perishable due to the scorching heat.

It had become a big challenge for the makers of Ramayana in such a situation. He also had to keep the Swayamvara of Ram Sita grand and close to reality. It was decided that flowers would be brought daily from Mumbai via flight. Shahab Shamsi says about this - I used to travel from Mumbai to Baroda with 10 kg rose and Mogra daily. I also brought Ram-Sita's varmala from Mumbai itself. According to Shamsi, because he traveled so often between Mumbai and Baroda, the security personnel of both the airport knew him well. If they believed, even those security personnel were surprised to see what would be done with so many flowers. But when he told about the Swayamvara of Ram-Sita, everyone welcomed it. Shamsi considers this to be the strength of Shri Ram. They say - from the beginning to the end, only Ram, Jai Shri Ram.
