Raavan Lila - Teaser

‘Mahabir Chacha, believe me you still have the vigour to play the role of Hanuman,’ pleaded Ramprakash, the secretary of the Pracheen Ram Parakram Ram Lila Samiti. Ramprakash, a school teacher at a primary school in Kishenpur, was a devout Ram Bakht. His classes at school were always replete with examples from Ramayana – ‘A for Ayodhya, B for Bharat, C for Chitrakoot, D for Dashrath....R for ShriRam.’ But it was not the teaching that was his passion. It was preparing and managing the Ram Lila, culminating on Vijayadashmi day every year. This year was going to be different.
