Ayodhya: Amid COVID, Ram Leela Cancelled; Deepotsav Celebration To Be Virtual

The tradition of staging 'Ram Leela' performance in Ayodhya is canceled this year owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The administration has denied the request of 'Ayodhya Shodh Sansthan' to hold 'Ram Leela' in the open within the Ayodhya Museum premises. However, the administration will be setting up a digital platform from the banks of river Saryu to Ram Katha Park. Reportedly, this is being done to celebrate a 'virtual deepotsav'.
