New Delhi: Chaos and calm, silence and cymbals, stillness and thrum, with these, the stage of RAM comes alive—a dance-drama where emotion shapes movement. Ram and Sita’s tender moments unfold through the grace of Kathak, while Ram and Ravan’s clash erupts with the raw energy of Chhau. The stage becomes a mix of divinity, love, war, and return.
It’s both a metaphysical return and a physical one for Delhi’s Mandi House. RAM is one of the most adored performances of the Ramayana , which returns to the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra every year – an ode to the enduring love for both the epic and its re-enactment. From Jawaharlal Nehru to Atal Bihari Vajpayee to Narendra Modi, from the swinging 1960s to the Age of AI, the power-packed dance drama has spoken to all generations.
