Any thoughts out there about where to go to see a good Ramlila in Delhi? Practical info on timings and such would also be appreciated--thanks!

For those of us who are unfortunately ignorant, what is Ramlila?

I had watched it once when I was young. It was quite mesmerizing, the poetic dialogues, the dramatic acting.

Sri Ram Kala Kendra organizes an annual ballet based on Ramlila around this time. Its being staged now for 53 years. I have read that this years is going to be different with the story of Ramayan being told from the perspective of Sita (Lord Rama's wife).

I remember of having seen one a few years back in East Delhi. It was rally good. I saw one in IP Extension. Somewhere near National Victor public school. I guess you could reach there and ask anyone. They would guide you to the right place. I would recommend going on the last day ie: dashmi that is the 28th of September. You could reach around 5:00 PM to enjoy the show. This day ends with the effigy of Ravan being burnt and fire crackers being burst.

This place might be slightly less crowded than others.
