Well, the sets of Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan were established in the interiors of Umbergaon, a city in Gujarat.  A few weeks back, Sunil Lahri aka Lakshman also revealed that he saw an 8-feet long Cobra during the shoot. During his chat with a leading entertainment portal, Sunil Lahri mentioned that Lakshman is an avatar of Shehnaag while revealing there was an 8-foot long snake in his washroom. Elaborating the incident, he said that he saw something shiny on the top. And, since the studio was an old one, it had a few logs on top of it. So the 59-year-old actor called a worker and asked him to check what it is. Later, the worker informed him that it was a snake.
