Have a look at what happens behind all the glitz, glamour and crowds at Shri Ram Bhartiya Kala Kendra.

Ram Leela is a folk play on the life of Lord Rama, based on the stories from the epic Ramayana.

Already fascinated by the socio-cultural reverence for the tradition of Ram Leela, a visit to Ram Leela Sabha at Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra seemed captivating. The greater part of the day was spent with the theatre artists of this Ram Leela to get an idea of the training and production they go through, to gain an understanding of the physical, emotional and intellectual demands made on these actors as they play roles to the delight of hundreds every year.
