Suddenly, Tulsi Das appeared before Nirala and have a conversation with him. later, Nirala is seen admiring the beauty of Panchvati.
He praises the calmness of Panchvati where he finally describes the life experiences of lord Rama with his wife Sita at Panchvati. Then, the audience experienced Shakti Puja of lord Rama performed at stage.
Basically, the last and final part of ballet was a narration of the war between lord Rama and lankeshwar i.e. Ravana. It narrates how lord Rama observes shakti for nine days and finally wins over lanka. Nirala as a poet wanted to reach out to his readers and so he always wrote in such a manner that could be understood by everybody.
His poetries have always been a pillar of understanding the hidden truths. It describes the actual human nature, traits and also the backwardness of the world, which somehow, is applicable in the contemporary society as well.
The audience enjoyed the show whole heartedly and watched the colours of Nirala’s poetry with rapt attention.
