Ramleela
This is an occasion that takes place ten days before Divali. Ramleela is a story that is dramatized in the public savannahs.
The story of Ramleela is a dramatic folk re-enactment of the life of Rama according to the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana. 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, such as of demon Ravana, are burnt typically with fireworks.
