Adwitiya Ramlila 2026 Concludes with a Grand Vijayadashami Celebration in Rohini

From October 9 to October 20, the streets of Sector 23, Rohini, turned into a living canvas of myth and devotion as the Sanatan Sanskaaram Society staged the much‑talked‑about ‘Adwitiya Ramlila 2026’. Night after night, actors reenacted the epic saga of Lord Ram – his exile, his battles, his unwavering dharma – drawing crowds of families, students and senior citizens alike.

The finale, timed perfectly with Vijayadashami, was nothing short of a spectacle. Colourful rangolis, the glow of oil lamps and the resonant beats of dholaks set the mood, while volunteers handed out sweets and pamphlets about the moral teachings embedded in the story.

Among the dignitaries seated on the stage, BJP’s National General Secretary Smriti Irani arrived as the chief guest. Her warm smile, followed by a brief interaction with the children in the front row, gave the event a personal touch that felt almost intimate despite the crowd.

When it was her turn to speak, Irani thanked the throng for gathering not just as devotees of Lord Ram, but as patriots who cherish India’s timeless cultural fabric. “Our traditions are the backbone of the nation,” she said, “and gatherings like this remind us that the values of truth, duty and compassion are still very much alive.” She also praised the organizers for preserving a heritage that, in her view, strengthens the country’s unity.

Following Irani, Delhi’s Minister for Social Welfare, Ravinder Indraj Singh, took the mic. He highlighted the symbolism of Vijayadashami – the defeat of evil, personified by Ravana, and the coronation of Lord Ram as an exemplar of ideal governance. “Ramlila is more than a religious drama,” Singh noted, “it is a conduit for passing on our cultural ethos, moral values and an ideal way of life to the next generation.”

The concluding ceremony also featured a brief enactment of the coronation scene, complete with a golden crown and traditional music. The audience erupted in applause, and many lingered afterward to discuss the performances, share photographs and, of course, enjoy the festive snacks.

In the closing remarks, the Sanatan Sanskaaram Society expressed heartfelt gratitude to the artists, volunteers, sponsors and, most importantly, the families who turned the Ramlila into a community celebration. Their message was clear: preserving India’s cultural heritage is a collective responsibility, and events like these keep the flame of Sanatan values burning bright for years to come.
