Aimed at making students effective communicators with enhanced listening skills and knowledge of Indian culture and mythology, Ramleela was staged across all primary schools just before parent-teacher meetings (PTMs) ahead of Diwali festival.
The Ramleela staged by Shri Public Bal Ramleela (SPBR) in Chowk has been framed out of five Ramayans – Shri Ramavtaram by Kamban, Ramacharitmanas by Tulsidas, Adhyatma Ramayan by Ved Vyas, Valmiki Ramayan and Radhey Shyam Ramayan. Another thing which makes it unique from other Ramleelas is that 80% of its cast includes children and teenagers.
Ahead of Dussehra, the Sri Ram Lila Society erected India's tallest Ravan effigy at 211 feet in Dwarka, inviting Prime Minister Modi to the grand event.
Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor and Rohit Shetty will perform the Ravan Dahan at the national capital's popular Ramleela on the occasion of Dussehra on Saturday.
