Ram Aagaman

On the occasion of Chaitra Navratri culminating in Ram Navami, Shovana Narayan and ASAVARI Repertory will organise “Ram Aagaman”, a dance presentation on April 9 at Kamani Auditorium.

The dance production centres on the effect Lord Ram’s arrival caused in people: such as on Sita, maid Manthra, step-mother Kaikeyi, brother Bharat, on Ravana, the King of Lanka and on the washerman of his kingdom. His arrival stirred up a series of emotions, whereby the absence or the presence of ‘Ramatva’ (noble, sense of duty and accountability) became evident.

For Sita, the arrival of Ram in Pushpa Vatika, or in her swayamvar, or on receipt of the news of Ram’s victory over Ravana, and the events that transpired during the Ashwamedha yagna, displayed her selfless devotion as well as her inner strength.

The time span in the dance production begins with Lord Ram’s birth to Sita’s disappearance in the womb of Mother Earth.

Chaitra Navaratri and Ram Navami: Navaratri is held in the honour of the divine feminine. Chaitra Navaratri marks the beginning of spring in which devotees pay homage to Goddess Durga and seek her blessings for prosperity and good fortune. It ends with the arrival of Vishnu’s 7th avatar, Lord Rama.

When: 7 pm;  April 9
Where: Kamani Auditorium
