Every year, Dussehra is celebrated to commemorate the triumph of good over evil as Lord Rama killed Ravana on this day. The festival is celebrated in full swing across the country, by burning the effigies of Ravan, Kumbhkaran, and Meghnath. After a hiatus of a few years, the effigy business is getting back on track.
It is celebrated with great fervour and excitement in cities like Varanasi, Ayodhya, Vrindavan, Madhubani, Almora and parts of Uttarakhand, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh in North India.
