RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA----------------------------On Friday, under the auspices of the 400-year-old Ramlila Committee, Ramlila was staged, celebrating Ram's return to Ayodhya with his four brothers. One day, when King Dasharatha sees his graying hair in the mirror, he realizes that the time has come to free himself from responsibility. He wants to renounce worldly desires and devote himself to meditation. He then converses with all his ministers and unanimously decides to hand over the throne of Ayodhya to Ram. When Manthara learns of this, she instigates Queen Kaikeyi's intervention. Queen Kaikeyi demands the throne for Bharata and exile for Ram as a boon from King Dasharatha. King Dasharatha, bound by his promise, is reluctantly forced to grant Bharata the throne and exile Ram. Due to which Lord Shri Ram agrees to go to exile to obey her orders, then Sita also asks to go with him and out of brotherly love, Lakshman also starts going with him. After this incident, the people of Ayodhya bid farewell to Ram while crying. The spectators sitting in the Ramlila ground get emotional after seeing this scene. In this staging of Ramlila, a confluence of three Rasas was seen, on one hand brother's love, on the other hand husband-wife's love, on the other hand father-son's love, on the other hand mother-son's love in which Vatsalya Ras, Karuna Ras and Raudra Ras were included. Pandit Kamlesh Dubey Ji Maharaj in the form of Vyas, Director Kaushal Kumar, Manager Suryapal Chaurasia and all the artists of Banaras' Ramlila Mandi are skillfully showcasing their art. On Thursday, the members of the Roti Bank arranged food for all the people present there in the form of Prasad, for which they were thanked by the Ramlila Committee. Their efforts were very commendable. Among the members of the Roti Bank, Kamlesh Tiwari, Kumar Rohit, Rajesh Kumar, Satish Singh, Ravi Sahay, Kumar Mohit contributed.
