Lucknow, February 15 – Inspired by the cultural vision of the Uttar Pradesh government and the spiritual revival in Ayodhya, a grand Ramlila will be held in the Russian capital, Moscow, on February 20.
This Ramlila, being organized in a divine and grand manner, draws inspiration from the recent Deepotsav held in Ayodhya.
The Ramlila, organized with the support of the Indian Embassy in Russia and the Jawaharlal Nehru Cultural Centre (JNCC), will feature Russian artists in prominent roles.
Evgeny will portray Ram, Daria will appear as Sita, Murat as Lakshman, and Dmitry as Hanuman, presenting a vivid theatrical representation of Indian devotion on stage.
The organization "Disha" is the main organizer of the event.
Under the leadership of Rameshwar Singh, the organization has, for years, been building a cultural bridge between India and Russia through theatrical performances, cultural festivals, and educational initiatives.
He stated that the Ramlila is not merely a religious performance, but a universal message of truth, dignity, and ideal living. This is why there is also special interest among the Russian audience.
Notably, Ayodhya's Deepotsav has gained global recognition with images of illuminated earthen pots leaving a lasting impact on people worldwide.
The Uttar Pradesh government, led by Yogi Adityanath, had earlier provided a platform to a Russian artists' troupe at the Ayodhya Deepotsav. That troupe had already earned acclaim by staging Ramlila there.
Deeply impressed by Ayodhya's spiritual aura and the grandeur of the event, the Russian organizers and artists decided to recreate the same spirit in Moscow.
Rameshwar Singh, who is leading the event, said that the program is being organized with special support from Vinay Kumar, India's Ambassador to Russia.
He noted that the Deepotsav and cultural renaissance initiated in Ayodhya by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath are now showing global impact.
Grand stage design, traditional costumes, and music are being specially prepared for the Ramlila in Moscow.
A large number of Russian citizens, members of the Indian community, and cultural personalities will attend.
When the divine enactment of Shri Ram's life comes alive on stage, the entire atmosphere will be imbued with the devotion, dignity, and ideals of Indian culture.
Through theatrical performances, festivals, and educational initiatives, the event will present a powerful example of unity between the two nations.
