Ramleela is the dramatic re-enactment of the Ramayana performed by Hindu communities across Trinidad in the weeks before Divali, with Felicity, a central Trinidad village with a strong Indo-Trinidadian population, recognised as one of the island's most active and long-running Ramleela sites.
Ramleela performances in Trinidad transplant an entirely North Indian devotional theatre tradition into a Caribbean setting, staged outdoors over multiple nights by community volunteer casts who portray Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravana in episodes drawn from the Ramayana, culminating traditionally in the burning of a Ravana effigy
Felicity's Hindu community has sustained the tradition across generations, making it one of the villages most closely associated with Trinidad's Ramleela practice and a site documented in academic studies of Indo-Trinidadian religious life
Ramleela dramatises the Ramayana
the Hindu epic recounting Rama's exile
his wife Sita's abduction by the demon king Ravana
and Rama's eventual victory with the help of Hanuman and an army of allies
a story performed as devotional theatre rather than staged purely for entertainment
