They can show, audience at Kailash, including Parvati, Ganesh, Kartikeya, Nandi Ganas, Rishis of Gyan sabha, Mushaks, even Ridhhi, Sidhhi, all hearing Ramayan from Shivji watching some scens live. In thebreak even Ridhhi Sidhhi can help Parvati in making Modaks.

Ramayan was supposed to be for 1 month. But the way actors are selected it may last more then that.

To answer Nandini, Mahabharat too they would show - particularly the Arjun/Kirata story. But that's at least a yuga away.

No, I DON'T want Mohit to play Hanuman. Just like they seem to be getting a different actor for Rama & Sita, they should do the same for Hanuman. The main event for Mahadev would be the establishment of the Rameshwar Jyotirlingam, and aside from that, they could show filler stories involving Mahadev & family.

About Ramayan mention in Shiva Purana, this is all I could find

There's one more story which the CVs can add. It is not there is any mainstream Ramayan, but part of the popular folklore.

When Rama was born, Shiva wanted to have his darshan, since he had never seen his prabhu, his araadhya as a baby.

Shiva assumes the guise of an old man and reaches the palace gates, only to find a huge surging crowds blocking his way. There seems no way to get inside.

Meanwhile, inside the palace the baby Rama gets to know that his araadhya Mahadev is at the palace gates unable to come inside.

He (Rama) is about to command the palace guards to let the old man in, when he remembers, in the nick of time, that he is a still baby and supposedly unable to speak yet.

So, Rama does the only thing babies are best at doing. He begins to cry. He cries and cries. Doesn't stop. The raj vaidya is summoned but fails to make the baby stop crying.

The queen mothers are convinced kissi ki nazar lag lagyee. So the hunt begins for a tantrik baba who can remove the evil eye

Fortunately such a tantrik baba was readily available outside and is ushered in with royal respect.

The baby is placed on his lap. Rama looks up at Shiva reverentially and Shiva gazes at Rama in wonder.

Everyone is surprised how the baby stopped crying. Mother Kaushalya asks the baba to foretell the baby future. Shiva begins in right earnest, predicting how Rama will grow up valorous and strong, how he will defeat Marich and Subahu, how he will save Vishwamitra's yagna, how he will break the Shiv- Dhanush and bring Sita home as his bride.

Kaushalya is transported with joy. But being the vairagi he is Shiva cannot understand a mother's emotion and continues in all seriousness. He is about to continue with the story and foretell Rama's banishment, when Rama, understanding what Shiva was about to reveal, yanks the Baba's long beard.

The baba yelps in pain and pauses. The baby Rama gives him a look as if to say "Stop it here, see how happy my mother is? Don't reveal anything that will cause her worry.

Shiva, obeys and hands the baby back to his mother.

A different question strikes me. I know Saurabh is going away to Mahabharata, so does that mean that we will be spared the scenes of Vishnu in Vaikuntha at the same time that Rama is on Bhulok? Also, is this the last we are seeing of Vishnu/Lakshmi, or will Saurabh continue to make cameo appearances here when needed? B'cos if this is the last of Vishnu/Lakshmi, then along w/ Saurabh, it would mean Ragini Deb's exit as well.

I thought that Ragini would have made a great Sita. Or she too could have gone to the Mahabharat and made a great Draupadi.
