NEW DELHI, INDIA, September 28, 2010: Delhi’s Ramlilas, organized during the festival of Navratri, is planned to woo Commonwealth Games tourists with English translators, pamphlets and air-conditioned rooms.
“We have a separate wing for the foreign tourists, which have translators to narrate the Ramlila in English, and to explain to them its significance. We are also handin out English-language pamphlets on the history of Ramlila,” says Ravi Jain of Shri Dharmik Leela Committee, which hosts the Ramlila in Red Fort Ground.
Visitors couldn’t be more thrilled. “I’ve heard a lot about the Ramlila from my friends. Now that they have translators, it’ll be an exciting experience,” says Roslyn, who arrived from Ireland recently. Apart from tourists, expats living in the city are also happy about the move.
