The fame of Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir and its extravagant events under CM Yogi Adityanath’s stewardship is crossing oceans. Moscow buzzes with preparations for a divine Ram Leela on February 20, a tribute to India’s cultural renaissance.
Fuelled by Ayodhya Deepotsav’s grandeur, this spectacle strengthens India-Russia relations. Backed by the Embassy and JNCC, Russian actors shine: Evgeniy as the noble Ram, Daria as devoted Sita, Murat as steadfast Lakshman, and Dimitri as devoted Hanuman.
‘Disha’, guided by Dr. Rakeshwar Singh, orchestrates the event. Their decade-long efforts in performances and initiatives have solidified cultural bridges. Singh notes the epic’s timeless wisdom on ethics, drawing Russian enthusiasm.
Yogi’s leadership has globalized Ayodhya’s festivals, with imagery of lamp oceans inspiring worldwide creatives. A Russian group, hosted in Ayodhya, was so enchanted they committed to staging it in Moscow.
Reviving 1960s legacies of Soviet star Gennady Pechnikov’s Ram Leela, this iteration enjoys Ambassador Vinay Kumar’s patronage. Meticulous planning ensures traditional splendor in every element.
The gathering—Russians, Indians, cultural icons—will bask in the Ramayana’s essence, promoting harmony. This production exemplifies how shared stories build unbreakable ties between nations.
