Nakkatyya, a stage performance, is conducted every year in October at Chetganj in the holy city of
Varanasi. Based on the epic
Ramayana, the play describes the story of Surpnakha, the sister of
Ravana, who comes to lure
Ram and then his brother
Lakshman. Lakshman chops off her nose and she goes back to her brother Ravana, crying and vowing to take revenge.
