The Ramnagar Ramlila of Varanasi is world-famous and recognized for its traditional storytelling and grandeur. Spanning 31 days, it is one of the longest theatrical enactments of the Ramayana in the world.
Unlike stage performances, the Ramnagar Ramlila unfolds across different locations, with the audience moving along with the performers. The king of Ramnagar traditionally participates in the event, adding royal significance. This festival culminates on Dussehra with the symbolic victory of Lord Rama over Ravana, reinforcing moral values, devotion, and cultural continuity.
