Entire Team of Drama - Sunil Mallik Jee introducing them to audience! Harih Harah!

Sunil Mallik Jee addressing the audience about the drama - it is indeed for child group, anything is possible through Drama, he says. Teachers can use drama as a 100% successful tool for educating all. Indeed the truth!! Harih Harah!

Here are school students - the main audience of this drama! Harih Harah!

In beginning people have no hope for something better is going to be shown to them. Gathering crowd for drama! Harih Harah!

Hey! Demon has a dangerous look always, this is why he is a demon. Harih Harah!

I am the mightiest - says the demon! Harih Harah!

I will eat you up today - Cow being soft target by non-Hindu community. Don't forget - Gaavo Vishwasya Maatarah! Harih Harah!

The villages of Mithila! Simply awesome. Harih Harah!

Mother guiding his sport-loving boy to also care household jobs sincerely. Harih Harah!

Real acting shown for how the demon came and took away the cow from their home. Harih Harah!

And now, here is the commitment. Boy decides to use his bow-arrows and art he learned in village. He would kill the demon, for he has become committed. Damn care! What would happen to his own life, but he would leave home and look for the demon to kill. Harih Hara!

Despite several dangerous tests in Jungle, the boy learns to be a decent adept! Great art with human beings to settle in whatever adverse situation it may come after challenges accepted. Wow!! Harih Harah!

What a beautiful stage arrangement by MINAP - the set immediately changes into Jungle - nice artwork. Harih Harah!

And see the audience! Aren't they all lost in the presentations? :) Great presentation indeed! I am saying through the eyes of curious audience. Harih Harah!

All curious and enthusiastic audience, some are joining late with repenting inside. :) Harih Harah!!

Demon's niece - seeing human being lying on ground helplessly and feels to share all loves she might have in life. A beautiful way of presentation - thanks the director. Great really! Harih Harah!

Love can happen to anyone and at anytime. Love is something so unique that is not done with planning, nature causes love without much judgement or consideration. Harih Harah!

Photographers find opportunities to take snaps from their angles - God knows what they find when at stage to click. :) Harih Harah! But photography is a nice art!! :) Om!

Moments of judgement - but after love happens to the pair! Harih Harah!

Demon's detective looking for human beings who has invaded the protected den of demon. Harih Harah! Beautiful concept developed by the writer and director both. Harih Harah!

Here, in drama, when actor fired the arrow, a man came and took the arrow and reached to target - this was really a nice Nautanki!! :D Harih Harah!

But demon is really mightier! Boy attempts in all possible ways to no avail. :P Harih Harah!

Lastly all of the people are imprisoned. And...

Harih Harah!

Demon is filled with pride of his might! It happens! We are in same delusion due to illusory effect of our physical might. :) Harih Harah!

And, the pride takes us to destiny, the one that is ultimately true. It is said - when we long for something with undue attachments, non-fulfillment of longing causes anger, anger loss of memory, loss of memory destroys the wisdom and the destruction of wisdom is end of life. Harih Harah!

Here goes the play! Kauri - boy has been mastering this game since very childhood. And he challenges the demon to play that game. :) Harih Harah!

While playing the Kauri on dais, the boy cleverly throws the same into well and declares himself the winner. As the demon curiously wish to see the point, boy indicates those Kauris in well and asked the demon to see in it... and then... the demon was pushed into the well. Hahahaha!! Harih Harah!!

The Group Leader now appears with his short address to audience and thank you all for seeing this drama. Wisdom is mightier than physical strength - indeed that is true. Harih Harah!
