Shri Ramlila: Plays from Ramayan

Publisher: Kush Aryan Gupta
ISBN:
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 57
Book Description
Shri Ramlila (The playful acts of Shri Ram) is a sequence of 24 one-act plays that depict his glory from birth to crowning. Readers can perform them as a complete epic, enact only one act, or use some dialogues as a short mono act. The book covers most stories of Shri Ramcharitmanas (written by Goswami Tulsidas Ji) and Valmiki Ramayan. Information from other holy books is also included. The details mentioned in the epics can overwhelm first-time readers. To help them, these are shown in summaries, lists, and pictographs. Hindi couplets (with meaning) and prayers translated into English aim to enrich the reading experience. Teachings and morals are in place to drive the religious and ethical messages. A list of characters, their personifications, backdrops, and props, will aid those who want to enact the plays. Scenes and dialogues have been written to cover the story in minimum acts. In short, the plays do cover most information written in the epic. Let's hope it inspires all to read the original masterpieces. Shri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram! Includes stories of Dus Avatar of Shree Vishnu Bhagwaan – Narasimha, Hari the tortoise, Varah the boar, Vamana Bharat Milaap, Sage Parashuram Lakshman Samvaad, Angad ka paon, Lakshman and Shurpanakha ki naak Sage Gautam and Devi Ahalya, Bhagirathi and Ganga jal, Creation of world by Brahma Ji Bajarang Bali’s Lanka Dahan, Sundar Kand Panch Kanya Tara, Kewat ki Naav, Shabri ke Ber, Bhakta Prahlad Nal Neel and Ramsetu (The bridge to Lanka), Shiva lingam in Rameshwaram, Roles of Devraj Indra, Agni Devta, Kamdev, Pawan, Varun, Narad Muni, Mayank, Matali, Jayant Goddesses Saraswati Ma, Lakshmi Ji, Parvati Mata (Sati), Mother Earth or Bhumi, Nidra Devi, Surasa, Swayamprabha Apsara Rambha, Menaka, and Urvashi Ayodhya Naresh Raja Dasharath, Raja Janak and the Pinaka, Shatrughan, Siddhartha, Sumantra, Kausalya, Kaikeyi, Sumitra, Sunaina, Manthara, Urmila, Shrutakirti, Mandavi, Ruma King Pratap Bhanu, Arimdarna, and Dharam Ruchi Sapta Rishi and other great sages like Rishi Agastya, Sage Bharadwaja, Sage Vishvamitra, Dev Guru Brhaspati, Guru Shatanand Ji, Priest Jabali, Sage Lomash, Shringi Rishi, Shutikshan Made for each other - Guru Vashishta & Arundhati, Rishi Atri & Anasuya Ji Spies Shardula, Shuka, & Sarana Doctor Sushena, Black Magician Vidyujjihva Rakshas Rani — Kaikesi, Mandodari, Sarama Narbhaakshi – Tadaka, Simhika Rakshasi Trijata, Lankini, Dhanyamalini, Ekajata, Harijata, Praghasa, Vikata, Durmukhi, Vinata, Chandodari, Pragasa, Ajamukhi, Ayomukhi Vaanar Raj Bali Vadh aur Sugriva, Honorable Kesari, Bear King Riksharaj Jambavan, Vibhishan Vaidya Susheshana & Sanjeevani Booty, Hanuman Ji & Dronagiri Monkey Warlords Rishabha, Arcishman, Sampati, Sharabha, Mainda, Dvivida, Gaja, Dadhimukha, Gavaya, Gavaksha, Vegadarshi, Vinata Tribal king Nishad Raj Guha & Bhils Crow Kakbhushundi – all-time best storyteller & devotee of Shri Ram Vultures - King of Birds Garuda, Sampati, Jatayu Wish-fulfilling Kamdhenu Cow, Kalpavriksha tree, & Chintamani Maricha & Golden Deer Charanas - the celestial bards, Ganas, Kinkaras Sudarshan, Bow, Arrows, Maces, Counch, Shankha, Bramashtra Villians like Hiranyakashipu, Lankapati Ravan, Kumbhakaran, Mahodara, Mahaparshva, Khar, Dushan, Trishira, Malyavan, Prahasta, Akampan, Mareech, Subahu, Meghnaad (Indrajeet), Akshay Kumar, Atikaya, Narantaka, Devantaka, Nikumbha, Mayasura, Jambumali, Suparshva, Viradh, Kalanemi Demon Army Generals of Dashkandhar - Prajangha, Tapana, Pratapana, Praghasa, Agniketu, Rashmiketu, Mitraghnu, Yajnakopa, Yagnashatru, Vajramushti, Ashaniprabha, Vidyunmali, Durmukh, Vajradamshtra, & Virupaksha

Chandni Chowk
Author: Swapna Liddle
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789386338068
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
What we know today as Chandni Chowk was once a part of one of the greatest cities of the world--the imperial city established by the Mughal emperor Shahjahan in the seventeenth century, and named after him--Shahjahanabad. This is the story of how the city came to be established, its grandeur as the capital of an empire at its peak, and its important role in shaping the language and culture of North India. It is also the story of the many tribulations the city has seen--the invasion of Nadir Shah, the Revolt of 1857, Partition. Today, Shahjahanabad has been subsumed under the gigantic sprawl of metropolitan Delhi. Yet it has an identity that is distinct. Popularly known as Chandni Chowk, its name conjures up romantic narrow streets, a variety of street food and exotic markets. For Shahjahanabad is still very much a living city, though the lives of the people inhabiting it have changed over the centuries. Dariba Kalan still has rows of flourishing jewellers' shops; Begum Samru's haveli is now Bhagirath Palace, a sprawling electronics market, and no visit to Chandni Chowk is complete without a meal at Karim's, whose chefs use recipes handed down to them through the ages for their mouth-watering biriyani and kebabs. Swapna Liddle draws upon a wide variety of sources, such as the accounts of Mughal court chroniclers, travellers' memoirs, poetry, newspapers and government documents, to paint a vivid and dynamic panorama of the city from its inception to recent times.

Sacred Gardens and Landscapes
Author: Michel Conan
Publisher: Dumbarton Oaks
ISBN: 9780884023050
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Studies of rituals in sacred gardens and landscapes offer tantalizing insights into the significance of gardens and landscapes in the societies of India, ancient Greece, Pre-Columbian Mexico, medieval Japan, post-Renaissance Europe, and America. Sacred gardens and landscapes engaged their visitors into three specific modes of agency: as anterooms spurring encounters with the netherworld; as journeys through mystical lands; and as a means of establishing a sense of locality, metaphorically rooting the dweller's own identity in a well-defined part of the material world. Each section of this book is devoted to one of these forms of agency. Together the essays reveal a profound cultural significance of gardens previously overlooked by studies of garden styles.
