In the press conference held at the 164th historical Ramlila Sabha Narsimha Mandir Badi Bamanpuri, Ramlila chief Vivek Sharma and Pankaj Mishra told that on the occasion of Holi, the only Ramlila Yatra in the whole of India takes place in Bareilly. Based on Vinay Patrika written by Tulsi Das, it starts on Phalgun Shukla Paksha Navami Tithi and Ramlila concludes on Chaitra Krishna Trayodashi. The special thing about this Ramlila is that its different episodes are staged in different localities. Like August Muni Leela takes place at August Muni Ashram Chhoti Bamanpuri, Kevat Samvad Leela at Sahukara, Meghnath Yagya at Bamanpuri and Lanka Dahan at Malukpur intersection. He told that this year the world famous historical event will be held on Sunday with Ganesh Puja and Pataka Yatra.
