Prayagraj Ramlila to have episode on Lord Ram’s sister

Prayagraj: The city’s famous Katra Ramlila committee, supposedly the only one in the country to begin Ramlila with the birth of demon king Ravan, has decided to include a new episode on Devi Shanta, the sister of Lord Ram. Ramlila starts from September 25 and continues till October 6.
Director of the Ramleela, Subhodh Singh told TOI: “Not many people know about Lord Ram’s sister Devi Shanta and thus we have decided to include a new episode on her. Audiences would be able to know more about Devi Shanta through the new episode which has never been performed by any Ramlila committee in the Sangam City.” Ramlila begins with the birth of demon king Ravan as the place is considered to be his ‘nanihal’ (maternal grandfather’s house). The committee is also known for taking out Ravan Baraat.
