At that time only two places where the Ramlila was played; one was Pataudi where the Nawab of Pataudi had started Ramlila and the other was village Jharsa. After that in 1881 Munim ji took Ramlila on Ram Talab. There Ramlila was played for 100 years. After that Ramlila divided and one part was again played at the ground of Shri Krishan Mandir Jharsa and other was at Ram Lila Ground Chotta school.
