The Delhi government is organising the Ramleela event for the first time. Traditionally, the ‘Shri Ram Bharatiya Kala Kendra’ conducted such events individually, requiring spectators to purchase tickets. However, the current government’s inclusive approach ensures that the Ramleela programme is free for all, allowing more people to partake in the cultural celebration.

Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj clarified that the government’s goal is to make Ramleela accessible to a wider audience, unlike the past when ticket costs posed a barrier. Responding to queries, he emphasised the equal respect for all religions and the government’s commitment to religious inclusivity. Addressing the audience, Revenue Minister Atishi underscored the true essence of Ramleela, urging people to derive meaningful lessons from Lord Ram’s life.
