Last 200 years to Shree Ragunath Temple area / colony peoples are perform to their own folk theater with title “RASLILA”( Lok Nritiya Natika with Story of God Vishnu ) . They are perform it only one day / night at front side of Shree Ragunath temple . they are not taking to this LOK NRITIYA NATIKA as a performing art , They are taking it as a live educational class ( social study through the story of God Vishnu ) for their new generation of shree Ragunath Temple Area/ colony or Bikaner city too . it is a noticeable talk of their cultural format . they are following to their cultural duty as a culture Master. I salute to them .

There they are perform same stories , same costumes , same songs , same characters, but there I watch to new actors ( the common person of that area / colony , none professional actors) , new viewers in age group of kids 5 years to 15 years . so for new kids that RASLILA is play / start a new live cultural / educational class for knowledge of kids . it is very interesting or inspiring step of Shree Raghunath Temple peoples or performers of RASLILA .
