of hundreds of people. All the artists are from Ujjain’s Rangrez Kala Sanskar who would be performing every day for two hours. They are trying to present the Ramleela in context with the latest incidents happening around the country. Today’s performance was all about Lord Rama’s childhood.

Various incidents which happened during his childhood were presented. Next was the conversation between Shiva and Parvati followed by the meditation done by Ravana. One act which caught the attention of the audience was the redemption of Ahilya’s curse by Lord Rama. The stage setting which had the Kailash Mountain and Ayodhya palace left the audience mesmerised.
