Mysuru: The four-and-a-half-hour ‘Sri Ramayana Darshanam,’ the play adapted from the epic poem of the same name penned by Jnanpith awardee and Rashtrakavi Kuvempu, had the audience mesmerised at the Bhoomigeeta in Rangayana premises yesterday.
A mix of both old Kannada (Hale Kannada) and new Kannada (Hosa Kannada), the play staged by Rangayana in association with Kannada and Culture Department begins with the opening dialogues by an actor donning the role of Kuvempu thus, ‘This is an epic poem; not history; this is not just a story; not confined to a story; it is like a soul to the body.’
