A bar in Noida’s Garden Galleria Mall, Lord of Drinks, has landed in legal trouble after a video of a controversial incident went viral on social media. The incident involved the playing of dialogues from the Hindu epic Ramayana, which were dubbed into a song and played on the dance floor.

The video shows people dancing to the music, which features characters from the Ramayana, including Lord Ram and Ravana. A video showing people dancing to the tunes of the edited video from the Ram-Ravava samvad has gone viral on social media platforms, sparking outrage among Hindu groups who have called for strict action.
