Ramlila
Dance Drama Enactment signifying “Victory of Good over Evil”
Ramlila (Rāmlīlā) (literally ‘Rama’s lila or play’) is any dramatic folk re-enactment of the life of Rama according to the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana or Ramcharitmanas. It particularly refers to the thousands of Hindu god Rama-related dramatic plays and dance events that are staged during the annual autumn festival of Navratri in India. After the enactment of the legendary war between Good and Evil, the Ramlila celebrations climax in the Dussehra (Dasara, Vijayadashami) night festivities where the giant grotesque effigies of Evil demon Ravana are burnt, typically with fireworks.
