Dussehra Celebrations Across India Highlight Diverse Regional Traditions
Dussehra is celebrated across India with diverse regional traditions. While many regions mark the festival with Ravana effigy burnings, Bastar in Chhattisgarh observes a unique 75-day celebration focused on tribal deities, rituals, and community participation without effigy burning. Other notable celebrations include Mysuru's royal procession and Kullu's gathering of village deities. These varied festivities highlight India's rich cultural heritage and offer distinct experiences beyond the common Dussehra customs.
