Who we are
Celebrating the timeless tradition of the Ramayana
Dwarka Sri Ramlila Society is organizing 15th Ramlila in Sub City Dwarka at Sector-10, Dwarka Near Muthoot Hospital Ground. It’s a days long event starting from, 22 September, 2026 till 2 October, 2026. Ramlila (literally 'Rama’s lila or play') is a dramatic folk re-enactment of the life of Lord Ram, ending up in ten-day battle betweenLord Ram and Ravan, as described in the Hindu religious epic, theRamayana. A tradition that originates from the Indian subcontinent, the play is staged annually often over ten or more successive nights, during the auspicious period of 'Sharad Navratras', which marks the commencement of the Autumn festive period, starting with the Dussehra festival. Usually the performances are timed to culminate on the festival of Vijayadashami day, that commemorates the victory of Lord Ram over demon king Ravana, when the actors are taken out in a procession through the city, leading up to a mela ground or town square, where the enactment of the final battle takes place,
Our mission
To present the Ramayana with dignity and scale, so that every generation in Dwarka can experience it as living theatre rather than a distant story.
Cultural significance
Ramlila is recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Our staging follows the Ramcharitmanas tradition with live music and classical costume.
“
Our Ramlila is not a performance we put on for the city — it is the city performing for itself. Every year the ground belongs to Dwarka.
