Ramleela, the timeless epic portraying the life of Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshman, and Hanuman, is a cultural and spiritual celebration cherished by millions across the nation. Red Fort is renowned for hosting grand, large-scale productions with awe-inspiring sets, authentic costumes, and mesmerizing performances, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking an immersive Ramleela experience.
The Ramleela staged at Red Fort has been a cornerstone of Dussehra celebrations in the country, capturing the essence of the victory of Lord Rama over the demon King Ravana. Established in 1923, this prestigious Ramleela has earned the patronage of former Prime Ministers and Presidents of India, attesting to its cultural significance and grandeur.
“We are thrilled to bring this cherished cultural and spiritual event to a global audience through our live-streaming partnership with Shree Dharmika Ramlila Committee” said Aacharya Dev, third generation astrologer and Co-Founder, VAMA. “At VAMA, we are committed to enhancing the accessibility of religious and spiritual experiences, and this collaboration allows us to share the magic and cultural richness of Ramleela with people worldwide. Through our live streaming partnership, we aim to transcend geographical boundaries and bring the timeless story of Lord Rama to the world’s doorstep, uniting hearts in the spirit of cultural richness and spirituality.”
Commenting on the partnership, Dhiraj Dhar Gupta Ji from Shree Dharmika Ramlila Committee said, “We are pleased to partner with VAMA’s platform as it now enables the younger generation of our nation to witness and embrace the profound cultural essence of India. The ongoing 100-year-old Ramleela holds great historical significance. VAMA’s dedication to making this grand event accessible to a global audience harmoniously aligns with our mission of ensuring the continuity and prosperity of our cultural heritage.”
The Dharmik Ramleela event at Red Fort is a spectacular start to the festive season in Northern India. It kicks off with the commencement of Navratri on the 1st of Ashwin, as per the Hindu calendar. The celebrations escalate with the staging of Ram Leela, followed by Dussehra on the tenth day, and culminate with Bharat Milap on the 11th Day. Bharat Milap marks the Coronation of Lord Ram, performed through the Raj Tilak ceremony, and is followed by awe-inspiring fireworks that light up the night sky, adding to the enchantment of the event.
Founded in late 2020 by Acharya Dev, Himanshu Semwal, and Manu Jain, VAMA.app is a one-stop virtual platform that provides easy access to e-pujas, e-darshans, and astrology services, to devotees from across India.

“Colour, Stone, Chintz, Grain and Statue – By – Raj Shahani “
Raj Shahani, a contemporary artist known for his sculptures and installations inspired by Indian art and culture, will open his magnum opus at the Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA) in Bikaner House, New Delhi on October 29, 2023.
The exhibition, titled “Colour, Stone, Chintz, Grain, and Statue,” will feature a circular constellation of 27 sculptures in bronze, marble, granite, stoneware, glass, terracotta, ceramic, iron, and paper. Each sculpture is an Apsara, a celestial being from Indian mythology, and together they mirror Raj’s own identity as an artist, performer, and beloved, yet alone individual.

Raj began his artistic journey as a child, escaping into the world of his own imagination to create alter egos and fantastical universes. His fascination with Apsaras began in his youth when he saw them depicted in popular culture and in the ancient temples and sculptures of India. As an adult, he began to see them as symbols of his own spirit, and he began to create sculptures of them that were both beautiful and fragile.
In his new exhibition, Raj continues to explore the themes of identity, transformation, and repair. He uses a variety of materials and techniques to create his Apsaras, each of which is unique and expressive. Some of the sculptures are made from whole pieces of stone, while others are assembled from fragments. Some are brightly coloured, while others are left in their natural state.

Through his work, Raj challenges us to think about the ways in which we construct and perform our identities. He also reminds us that even the most broken things can be repaired and made beautiful again.
Event Details:
Preview – Sunday, 29th October, 2023
The exhibition continues until – Sunday, 05th November, 2023
Time – Tuesday – Sunday, 11 am – 7 pm (Closed on Mondays)
Venue – Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA), Bikaner House 1, Hailey Lane, New Delhi 110001
