During the musical story, the sweet sound waves of hymns and couplets of Manas filled the Ram devotees of Chhoti Kashi with devotion.
Many saints, mahants, entrepreneurs, businessmen, leaders, police and administration officials, teachers, professors, pandits, astrologers and students from various cities of the state attended the program along with a large number of women. Everyone praised the program. The auditorium was full to the brim even before the program started, which was full of self-respect, morale, culture, virtue, modesty, humility and dignity. The situation became such that there was no place to even put a foot in the auditorium, due to which many devotees who came late did not get a place to sit or stand, due to which they had to go back.
In the program, along with the Ghat-Ghat Ke Vasi Ram Organizing Committee, Shri Dharma Foundation Trust, Anasakt Chaitanya Trust, J.D. Maheshwari also made a commendable contribution.
The music in the programme was by Chhabi Joshi while the music arrangement and pakhavaj playing was done by Manbhavan Dangi. Ramesh Mewal on violin, Dinesh Khinchi on singing and harmonium, Harish Gautam on tabla, Dipesh on percussion, Madhavi, Raghavi and Priyanka as keyboard and chorus and singers added glory to the programme. The audience was given entry in the programme only after writing the name of Ram on the paintings of Lord Ram made on canvas by 15 big artists.
