# Geet Ramayan

> G. D. Madgulkar's verses, set to Sudhir Phadke's music — poetry as nectar.

- **Tagline (Devanagari):** काव्य नव्हे हा अमृत संचय!
- **Theme type:** Audio-Visual Theme
- **Languages:** Marathi
- **On stage:** A two-hander — Chandrashekhar Mahamuni and Dr. Rahul Deshpande — on audio-visual tracks.
- **Performed by:** Nishad Pune, Pune, India

G. D. Madgulkar wrote the verses and Sudhir Phadke set them; between them they gave Maharashtra a Ramayana it could sing. Nishad performs it as a two-hander — Chandrashekhar Mahamuni singing, Dr. Rahul Deshpande speaking — on audio-visual tracks.

It opened on Ram Navami in March 2023 and has not stopped: a staging for the inauguration of the Ram Mandir at Ayodhya, a seventh outing by April 2024, a house-full night, a first visit to Nashik, and a performance sung as an offering before the deity at the Peshwa-era Tulshibaug temple in Pune.
