Rambarat or Wedding ceremony of Lord Rama is celebrated
every year during Ramleela celebrations. Ramleela celebrations
continue for 10 days where on each day in the evening, plays are
enacted by local artists based on the holy book of Ramayana.
Every year, a new locale of the town is chosen as Janakpuri-
the place to which Sita belonged or the kingdom of Raja Janak (
King Janak)-father of Sita. The place is elaborately decorated
to perform the royal wedding. The Rambarat (marriage procession)
starts from Lala Channomalji Ki Baradari for Janakpuri, passing
through different parts of the town. The barat is a large
procession of tableaux or the 'jhankis', followed by the
portraits of Ram-Lakshman mounted on elephants, which moves
throughout the city during whole night.
