Noida Stadium Ramleela Halted: Downpour Soaks Ravan, Meghnad, and Kumbhkaran Effigies.
Heavy rains lashed Noida Stadium in Sector 21 on Tuesday evening, forcing the abrupt suspension of the ongoing Ramleela performance during the grand Dussehra festivities, leaving thousands of devotees disappointed.
🌧️ The one-hour deluge turned the expansive grounds into a muddy quagmire, with waterlogging preventing stage activities and fair rides, while the towering effigies of Ravan (80 ft), Meghnad (65 ft), and Kumbhkaran (75 ft), crafted by local artisans, got thoroughly drenched, risking structural damage ahead of tomorrow's symbolic burning.
😔 Organized by Shri Sanatan Dharma Ramleela Committee (SRMM) for its 40th year, the event drew crowds for traditional plays from Moradabad artists, but safety concerns prompted organizers to call off the show, rescheduling key scenes.
🚫 Police and volunteers assisted in crowd dispersal amid slippery conditions, with no injuries reported, though the erratic weather has impacted attendance across Noida's multiple Ramlila venues.
This twist highlights climate woes on cultural extravaganzas, yet organizers vow a spectacular finale on October 2 if skies clear. 🎭
