New Delhi: The famous Luv Kush Ramlila at Delhi’s Red Fort grounds featured a spectacular presentation on October 18, 2026, as Hanuman Ji was shown carrying the entire mountain, adorned with the Sanjeevani herb, from a height of 220 feet. With the help of giant cranes, the scene depicted Hanuman Ji flying through the sky with the mountain, leaving the audience mesmerised.
According to Arjun Kumar, president of the Luv Kush Ramlila Committee, the spectacular scene drew the entire audience’s attention. Devotees and visitors were seen capturing the rare visual on their mobile phones, with the glow of their screens illuminating the grounds.
Sanjeevani herb revives Lakshman Ji
The episode depicting Lakshman Ji’s recovery after receiving the Sanjeevani herb was another major highlight of the evening. Dr Ashok Sharma, a renowned doctor associated with Apollo Hospital, portrayed Sushen Vaidya.
As Lakshman Ji recovered, the grounds echoed with chants of “Jai Shri Ram” as devotees celebrated the dramatic moment.
Angad-Ravan dialogue captivates audience
Another powerful scene depicted Angad’s visit to Ravan’s court. After a heated exchange with Ravan, Angad planted his foot firmly on the ground and challenged the warriors in the court to move it. Despite their efforts, none of them could dislodge his foot.
When Ravan himself attempted to move it, Angad challenged him, saying that if he wished to bow before someone, he should hold the feet of Lord Shri Ram instead.
The scene was presented with an eight-track sound system, adding to its dramatic impact and keeping the audience engrossed throughout the performance.
