Delhi:
Spending time on Facebook and micro-blogging website Twitter is soon going to be a spiritual experience. Apart from friends and relatives, you will now be able to connect with Lord Rama online, courtesy Ramlila.
Organisers of the Nav Shree Dharmik Leela Committee have decided to upload videos of the stage performance on Facebook and update the audience on programme schedules and related info on Twitter.
Apart from the online promotions, SMS updates would also be sent to the people in the area about the scenes to be staged during a particular day and the special shows planned.
"We are going to take advantage of the technology available to us to raise awareness and promote the spiritual message of Ramlila among the people," Brij Mohan Sharma, member of the organising committee said. Sharma pointed out that they have made special preparations to woo the Commonwealth tourists.
"We have planned special traditional Indian welcome for the foreign tourists. We have invited delegates from seven Commonwealth contingents that are in the city to participate in the Games," Sharma told MiD DAY.
"We will greet them with special platters of exotic Indian food. Apart from that we have also arranged for Spanish, German, Japanese and English cuisine. Apart from that we will also serve them the famous street food of Delhi-6. I believe they will enjoy it a lot," Sharma added.
The Games mascot Shera would also be there to welcome the tourists.
"We have got Shera too. I hope that we will get a better turn out than the Games," he said.
