New age Ravana wired up to meet fiery end at finale

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 24 Oktober 2012 | 22.10

In the end , Ravana always goes out like an oil depot on fire - bam , bam , bam - without a show of suffering. But this time , the demon's end will be markedly more human , and satisfying, with cries , shrieks and a frame writhing in the agony of death . Some of the bigger Ramlilas in town have managed to turn the traditional 'effigy' of the last few thousand years into a robot fit for the 21st century using electronics and some mechanical engineering .

"As soon as the arrow hits Ravana's stomach , flames will burst out of his mouth , his eyes will spin and drip tears of milk . Both ears will also move ," says Arjun Kumar , president of the Luv-Kush Ramlila Committee , adding , "The sword in his hand will also move with the arm and the gemstones around his neck will change colour . All these effects will be accompanied with a loud screaming ." To produce the special effects, the 120-foot effigy has been wired up to a computer and an audio player while ball bearings have been used in the construction for the first time . Some gizmos have also been used in the effigies of Kumbhkarna and Meghnad that stand 100 and 80 feet tall .

Kumar said around 10,000 crackers will have to be fitted in the effigy to make it burn completely . Former President Pratibha Patil and human resources development minister Kapil Sibal are likely to attend the Luv-Kush Ramlila Committee's celebrations .

Ravi Jain , press secretary of the Shri Dharmik Lila Committee that organizes a Ramlila opposite Red Fort grounds said President Pranab Mukherjee , PM Manmohan Singh and UPA chief Sonia Gandhi are likely to attend their celebrations .

Satyadev Goyal , president of Shri Ramlila Committee , Punjabi Bagh said the burning of effigies in their area will be preceded by a procession in which actors playing Rama , Ravana and Sita will participate . Ten music bands , horses and elephants will accompany them .

"When the procession reaches the main ground around 4pm, there will be a Rama-R avana battle . After that , we will burn the effigies . Lord Rama will aim his arrow at Ravana , and when he pulls the bowstring , a button will switch on . Ravana will burn on being hit by the electric arrow ," he said .

Preparations across the city were hit by rain and strong winds on Tuesday . Some of the effigies required serious repairs . But the organizers claimed everything will be in order on Wednesday .

At IP Extension , the organizers have selected conspicuous consumption as the fourth demon by voting . "From FDI in retail , corruption , showing off and electricity bills, most respondents (32%) picked showing off as a new age Ravana ," said an organizer
