The two-hour long production involves dance styles ranging from Bharatanatyam and Kalariyapattu to Mayurbhanj Chau and folk dances of North India, with rhythmic music based on Hindustani classical ragas.
“The production comprises 28 scenes, encapsulating pivotal moments from Rama’s birth to his marriage with Sita, his exile, the abduction of Sita by Ravan, and the ultimate triumph over evil with Rama’s Rajyabhishek,” Shobha Deepak Singh said.
