The special effects just won't stop at that. The swords will be laced with a special material to produce sparks while depicting the fight between the armies of Ram and Ravana and Lord Hanuman will enter Lanka suspended on a rope.
A big crane will be used for the scene in which Ravana's brother Kumbhakaran will be woken up from his deep slumber. As an added attraction special artists have been brought in from Jaipur to construct a replica of the famous Sheesh Mahal.
If one Ramlila committee is focussing on making it a visual delight, the other at the nearby Subhash ground has hired sound and acoustics specialists to put up a technologically sound show. Also to add to the effects special, voice over artists have been hired to add to the ambience.
