Dussehra- Witness The Triumph Of Good Over Evil

The culmination of the nine days of Navrati culminates in the tenth day of Dussehra. The main feature of this celebration is the burning of effigies of Ravan and his two brothers, which represents Lord Rama's destruction of Ravan in the epic tale of Ramayana. The effigies are loaded with firecrackers, resulting in a cacophony of loud sounds when the entire edifice, which stands about 100 feet tall, collapses. This is followed by even louder shouts from the audience in celebration of the symbolic achievement. In certain locations, the days leading up to Dussehra are commemorated by street performances called Ramlila that depict the complete Ramayana.
