Rasa-lila performance - [VIDEO] With Fateh Krishna Ji Maharaj

Here are pictures and video from a Rasa-lila performance with Fateh Krishna Ji Maharaj, discovered from a couple of CDs I got in Vraja last year and only now checked out. I've seen one of these performances live at Radha Raman Ghera. If you happen to be around in Vraja when one of these is going on, go and check it out.

The opening credits:
