Ayodhya aura at Old Fort: Delhiites get drenched in Ramayana fervour!
Hindustan TimesThe picturesque backdrop of Purana Qila and Delhiites chanting Ram naam is how the vibe kicks in as one visits the ongoing seventh edition of the India International Ramayana Mela 2024. “Since the opening event of this year-long fest coincides with the establishment of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, we were excited to come over and participate,” says Anita Sethi, a Delhi-based fashion design student. Remi Poddar, a Noida-based artist, shares, “I’ve painted Surasa because I wanted to convey the message that, just as Hanumanji overcomes all challenges with humility, we too can in our lives.” Young artistes from Sri Lanka rehearse to present the Ramayana through Bharatanatyam. As we breathe in, we inhale good energies and as we breathe out, we cleanse the negative energies inside us, which in a way represent Ravana.” Catch It Live What: India International Ramayana Mela 2024 Where: Purana Qila, Mathura Road On till: January 21 Timing: 11.30am to 7pm Nearest Metro Station: Supreme Court on the Blue Line For more, follow @htcity.delhijunction
