The Bhopalites are having a close look at the lifespan of lord Rama under a seven-day programme ‘Shri Ramleela Utsav’ being staged at Ravindra Bhavan Auditorium. The event is all about various major incidents that took place in lord Rama’s life and shaped Ramayana. lord Rama is also known as most obedient son of his father. He always followed Raja Dashrath’s orders and when King Dashrath ordered his beloved Rama to leave the palace, Rama being a lovable son left the kingship and went to spent 14 years in forest. On Thursday, under ‘Shri Ramleela Utsav’, Kaikeyi and Dashrath Samvad was staged. The programme was then followed with Van Gama of lord Rama. Kaikeyi wanted her son Bharat to be the next King of Ayodhya .
Fearing that Rama would ignore or possibly victimise his younger brother for the sake of power, Kaikeyi demands that Dasaratha banish Rama to a forest exile for fourteen years, and that Bharata be crowned in Rama’s place. She had been granted two boons by the king when she had saved his life a long time ago in battle, and the queen now used them to serve her purpose.
later, lord Rama’s exile towards the forest along with Sita and laxman was performed as Van Gaman of Rama.With the use of beautiful and heavy props, traditional costumes, impactful dialogue delivery enchanted the audience on the third day of the fest. Children of different age groups gave enthralling performances before the Bhopalites. Sita Haran and Panchwati Prasang incident will be staged on the fourth day of this festival.
