Dussehra 2025: Rajasthan celebrates victory of good over evil
On October 2, 2025, Rajasthan marked Dussehra by burning giant effigies of Ravan, his brother Kumbhkaran, and son Meghnad—a powerful tradition that celebrates good winning over evil and wraps up the Navratri festival.
People across the state came together for this major event honoring Lord Rama's legendary victory.
