Ramlila, the stage retelling of Lord Ram's life, is a much-loved tradition across India. It is staged widely around the festive season, and the Agra show added to that tradition with a star-studded cast. Actor Gaurav Khanna's appearance as Lord Shri Ram in Agra has won praise from fans.
The stage show came soon after the Anupamaa actor's exit from Khatron Ke Khiladi 15.

The event, named Janakpuri Mahotsav 2026, was held at Bhavana Estate in Agra. It featured a grand staging of the Ramayana, with several known faces from television and film on stage together.
