Some of the sansthan&rsquo;s actors have been a part of it for more than 20 years. &ldquo;For the mandals organising Ramleela, the act is more than the performance itself,&rdquo; states Mishra. &gt;&gt;&gt; RAMLEELA WHEN: October 2 to 5, 7 PM to 9 PM RAVANA DAHAN WHEN: October 5, 7 PM onwards

For 60 years in the city, and 50 years at Girgaum Chowpatty, Adarsh Ramleela Mandal has been setting the stage for the victory of good over evil. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s all about spreading God&rsquo;s divine message,&rdquo; says Kanbehari Agrawal, trustee and joint secretary of the mandal.

The actors travel from Mathura, handpicked by the city&rsquo;s Anant Ramleela Mandal. As the auditioning process repeats every year, new people are chosen each time. &ldquo;For us, they are not actors playing characters, they are the characters themselves. They don&rsquo;t act; they become the character,&rdquo; says Agrawal. &gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp; RAMLEELA WHEN: October 2 to 5, 7 PM to 9 PM&nbsp; RAVANA DAHAN WHEN: October 5, 7 PM onwards

&ldquo;What makes this mandal&rsquo;s Ramleela special is that those enacting are not necessarily professional actors. They come here to be a part of Ramleela keeping their regular jobs aside, just because they are extremely passionate about it,&rdquo; says Ashok Goyal, president of the mandal. &gt;&gt;&gt; RAMLEELA WHEN: October 2 to 5, 7 PM to 9 PM RAVANA DAHAN WHEN: October 5, 7 PM onwards
