Event Description : DOC FILM "Leela in Kheriya"

Leela in Kheriya is a feature length documentary film based on the Ramlila tradition in village Kheriya located in the Firozabad district of Uttar Pradesh. Ramlila in Kheriya is one of the finest examples of composite nature of Indian culture and society. Hindus and Muslims together constitute the Shri Ramlila Committee of Kheriya Patikara and roles are distributed among the actors based on talent; caste and religion are of no consequence here. Several major roles in the Ramlila are played by Muslims including that of Ram and Sita both. This Hindu-Muslim camaraderie exists not only during the Ramlila but is
reflected in their daily life as well. Kheriya village is a living example of peace, harmony, and co-existence among different caste groups and religious communities.

Director: Dr. Molly Kaushal
