The Ramleela organized at Purani Kotwali, Azamgarh, witnessed a captivating performance on Saturday night by artists from Shri Adarsh Ramleela Mandal Janakpur (Sitamarhi), Bihar. The artists staged the alliance of Lord Shri Ram and Sugriva, followed by the epic battle between Bali and Sugriva. The entire pandal was filled with devotion, echoing with chants of 'Jai Shri Ram'.

The performance commenced with the meeting of Shri Ram and Hanuman. Shri Ram, who was searching for Sita, met Hanuman, who then introduced him to Sugriva. Following the friendship between Ram and Sugriva, Sugriva sought liberation from Bali's tyranny. At Shri Ram's behest, Sugriva challenged Bali to a duel, but due to his inability to distinguish Bali, Sugriva was defeated.

Subsequently, another fierce battle between Bali and Sugriva was enacted, culminating in Bali's demise by Shri Ram's arrow. After Bali's end, Sugriva was crowned and ascended to the throne as the king of the Vanaras. Sugriva immediately dispatched monkey troops in various directions to search for Sita. A group including Hanuman, Angad, and Jambavan reached the seashore, where Sampati informed them that Sita was in Lanka. Jambavan reminded Hanuman of his immense powers, after which Hanuman assumed a colossal form, preparing to leap to Lanka. The artists' vibrant performance enthralled the audience.
