Sanitisers at Sita’s Swayamvar, Ravan’s Covid Orders, PPE Kits in Ayodhya: Unusual Ramlila for Unusual Year
News 18Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravan. Artistes playing the residents of Ayodhya in the ‘Bharat Milap’ scene wore PPE kits on stage, while the actors portraying Ram, Lakshman and Bharat underwent a Covid-19 test since their characters had to hug each other during the scene. For example, few artistes are made to wear PPE kits in the sequence where Bharat, along with Ayodhya citizens, goes to bring back Ram,” said Prem Pal Singh, chief of Vishnu Avtar Ramlila committee. Sharing his experience, actor Sonu Sharma, who has been playing Ram’s character for the past 10 years in different Ramlila committees in Delhi-NCR, said: “I took Covid-19 test before coming to the stage. Actors who are part of scenes that require physical contact like Ram hugging Sugreev, Hanuman or Parshuram also took Covid-19 tests.” Where possible, actors maintained social distancing even while performing.
