Know Which Ground You Are Going To
Most cities have more than one Ramlila venue, and they are not interchangeable. Delhi alone runs simultaneous performances at Ramlila Maidan, Subhash Maidan, and a dozen colony grounds, each with a different effigy height, a different crowd size, and a different time for the burning. Confirm the specific venue and the scheduled lighting time before you leave. A family that splits across two grounds because half assumed one location and half assumed another is a family that spends the evening on the phone in a crowd of forty thousand people.
