In Kolkata, Dussehra is called Vijaya Dashami. This day marks the culmination of Durga Puja festivities.
Delhi is undeniably one of the best places in India to experience Dussehra. The city comes alive with Navratri, a 9-day celebration.
As one of India’s oldest cities, it boasts a time-honoured Ramlila tradition performed alongside the historic Ramnagar Fort.
The Rajasthani city is famous for its vibrant Dussehra Mela. On the auspicious day of Dussehra, religious ceremonies kick off in the royal palace.
Bathukamma is a vibrant festival that aligns with Navratri and kicks off on Mahalaya Amavasya, concluding on Durgashtami.
Even though it’s called Bastar Dussehra, this festival isn’t about the tale of Ram defeating Ravana. This 75-day festival is primarily held in honour of Goddess Danteshwari.
During Dussehra in Himachal Pradesh, all the prominent deities from the region gather to pay their respects to Lord Raghunath.
Barara, a quiet and lesser-known town in Haryana, takes centre stage during Dussehra. This town has already earned its place in the Limca Book of Records for igniting the tallest Ravana effigy worldwide. Each passing year, they add more inches to the record.
