Summary
- New technology like AI and 3D mapping enhances the Ramlila spectacle.
- Actors Devesh Sharma and Kaveri Priyam share insights on their roles.
- The Ramlila production features a four-level stage and a replica Meenakshi Temple.
The annual Luv Kush Ramlila at Delhi's Red Fort is preparing for its upcoming showcase, promising a blend of traditional performance and modern technology. The 10-day event is a significant part of Dussehra celebrations, featuring television actors in prominent roles.
Actors are reflecting on their characters' impact. Devesh Sharma, portraying Lord Ram, highlighted the importance of respectful dialogue, drawing parallels to modern family dynamics. Kaveri Priyam, in her first mythological role as Sita, views the part as a challenging yet rewarding learning experience.
Technological advancements are central to this year's production. Arjun Kumar, president of the Luv Kush Ramlila Committee, detailed plans for AI-assisted graphics, 3D mapping, and enhanced sound effects. The stage has been expanded, and a replica of the Meenakshi Temple will be featured.
These innovations aim to create an immersive, hyper-realistic Ramlila, with elaborate sequences like Hanuman flying 200 feet high. The organizers hope these enhancements, along with social media engagement, will ensure the tradition resonates with contemporary youth.
