70-Foot Ravana Set to Dazzle Sector 49 Celebrations
Chandigarh 18 October ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : The Divya Ramayan Yuva Kala Manch's fifth Ramlila and Dussehra Festival 2026, held at the Sabzi Mandi Ground in Sector 49B, continues to enthrall audiences with its vivid portrayal of Ramayana episodes. Yesterday's performances were particularly impactful. The intense Ravana-Angad dialogue, showcasing Angad's unwavering devotion, captivated spectators. The poignant scene of Laxman's fainting deeply moved the audience, while Hanuman's triumphant return with the Sanjivani herb ignited chants of "Jai Shri Ram" throughout the pandal. The expulsion of Vibhishana from Lanka delivered a powerful message of truth and justice.
With only two days remaining until the Dussehra festival on October 20th, excitement is palpable across the Tricity. The burning of a 70-foot-tall Ravana and 65-foot-tall effigies of Kumbhakarna and Meghnad is set to be the main attraction. The committee has appealed for public cooperation regarding entry passes, suggesting that those without passes can enjoy the Ravana Dahan from public stands. The Dussehra procession will commence at 3 p.m., followed by the Ravana Dahan at 6 p.m., featuring green firecrackers and fireworks. Dignitaries including Sanjay Tandon and Bhajan Samrat Kanhaiya Mittal will grace the event. The committee extended an invitation to all devotees, urging them to "unite and pledge to embrace the ideals of Lord Shri Ram in your lives" on Vijayadashami.
The talented cast includes Sumit Sethi as Shri Ram, Shubra Singh as Sita, Ashish Rautela as Lakshman, and Prashant as Hanuman. Notably, Ashwini Sharma, an Assistant Sub-Inspector with the Chandigarh Police and an actor in films and Punjabi serials, portrays both Ravana and King Dasharatha.
