Be it TV serials or films, most of the shooting takes place in Goregaon. But there was a director and producer who discovered a new world outside this city. When that show was made, there was an uproar.

No matter how many serials have been made on Ramayana till now, Ramanand Sagar's Ramayana was something different. The first episode of this show was aired on 25 January 1997. A total of 78 episodes of Ramayana were shown. The last episode of this show was aired on 31 July 1988.

This serial broke all records of viewership. Let us tell you that in Ramayana, Deepika Chikhalia played the role of Maa Sita, and Arun Govil was seen in the role of Lord Ram. At the same time, Dara Singh was seen in the character of Hanuman in this show.

This village is on the Maharashtra-Gujarat border

Let us tell you that Ramanand Sagar found a place outside Mumbai for Ramayana, where it was shot. This place was on the Maharashtra-Gujarat border, about 150 km from Mumbai. The name of this place was Umargaon, which is in Valsad district of Gujral. ​​Umargaon is naturally very prosperous.

Umargaon is on the Arabian Sea coast

Here you will see trees, rivers, sea and mountains all around you. This was the reason that the scenes shown in Ramayana looked absolutely real. Umargaon is situated on the Arabian Sea coast. This place was absolutely suitable for Ramayana. This is why Ramanand Sagar shot Ramayana here.

sets were made

At this place, the sets of Ayodhya, Lanka, Mithila, Kishkindha and Kailash Parvat were made from wood. You must have seen in Ramayana that Hanuman was shown crossing the sea to go to Lanka. Not only this, but Hanuman was also shown flying to bring the mountain.

In such a situation, the question that comes to everyone's mind is how Hanuman started flying in 1987-88. Actually, Dara Singh was hung with the help of a special belt and wire during this time. This scene was shot very carefully so that it could look natural. The scene was shot using camera angles, lighting and special camera.
