The charm of epic Ramayana never fades away. From Philippines to India, different artists, same cultural bond
The Ramayana Festival, with the participation of all ten ASEAN countries, began in Delhi over the weekend. The five-day festivity of shared cultural and religious heritage follows a resoundingly successful ASEAN-India Pravasi Bharatiya Divas which was held in Singapore earlier this month. Here are the pictures from the show.
