It brought the epic Ramayana to life in a completely new form, blending classical music, poetic lyrics, and the rich tradition of storytelling.Milestone in Marathi Light Music: The series is often referred to as a "milestone of Marathi light music." The combination of G.D. Madgulkar’s evocative lyrics and Sudhir Phadke’s classical compositions created a unique musical experience that resonated with listeners for generations.

The melodies have become an integral part of Marathi culture, often played during religious and cultural events.A New Approach to Storytelling: The narrative style of Geet Ramayan, told from the perspective of Kusha and Lava, the twin sons of Rama and Sita, was revolutionary. It made the epic more personal and relatable to the audience, especially as it introduced the modern listener to classical storytelling in a form they could engage with weekly.Musical Legacy: Sudhir Phadke's choice to use Hindustani classical ragas to evoke different moods according to the unfolding events of the Ramayana helped create an immersive listening experience. The raga and tala were carefully chosen to reflect the emotional and dramatic arc of the narrative, showing the depth of musical craftsmanship in the series.Inspiration for Future Generations: Geet Ramayan continues to inspire generations of musicians, composers, and poets. Its success showcased how classical music could be used effectively to narrate epic stories in an accessible and enjoyable format, influencing later works in both Marathi and Indian music.Celebrating Radio’s Role in Cultural Preservation: All India Radio played a crucial role in broadcasting Geet Ramayan, and the series serves as a reminder of radio’s role in preserving and promoting Indian culture. It was a landmark in radio broadcasting, reaching millions of homes across the country and making it one of the most beloved radio shows in Indian history.The Poet's Legacy: G.D. Madgulkar's literary prowess, often referred to as Ādhunik Valmiki (the modern Valmiki), is highlighted in the series. The way he adapted the traditional story into a contemporary poetic form remains a testament to his skill and insight into storytelling. His ability to craft lyrics that are both divine and relatable helped elevate the entire project. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pune/geetramayan/3900029798386130 - **Event Categories**: Entertainment, Music, Art, literary-art, performances, Theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 85 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 5 - Duration: 2 hours 50 minutes - Languages: Marathi ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 590, currency: INR ## Event venue details - **city**: Pune - **state**: MH - **country**: India - **location**: Buntara Bhavana: Pune - **lat**: 18.5204303000 - **long**: 73.8567437000 - **full address**: Buntara Bhavana: Pune, Buntara Bhavana: Pune, Pune, MH, India ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Geetramayan - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/aeb5ee50-29a4-11f1-9b78-2b8de5d122b0-rimg-w1200-h600-dcd57803-gmir.jpg?v=1774592271 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Geetramayan being held? - **A:** Geetramayan takes place on Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm at Buntara Bhavana: Pune, Buntara Bhavana: Pune, Pune, MH, India. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Geetramayan? - **A:** Tickets for Geetramayan start from INR 590 per person.
