the name Ramman associated with the fair is derived from the excerpts of Ramayan which are performed in the fair. Combining theatre, music, historical reconstructions, and traditional oral and written tales, the Ramman is a multiform cultural event that reflects the environmental, spiritual and cultural concept of the community, recounting its founding myths and strengthening its sense of self-worth. The highlights of the event are the unmissable dance ritual theater including the 'Maal Nritya', recreating the episode of Gorkha invasion on Garhwal and the masked dance performances such as 'Myor-Muren Nritya' that portrays the dangers that villagers face in their day-to-day lives and portray the immense faith of local people on their deities. The festival is recognised in the “Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’’ listed by UNESCO.
