DUSSEHRA: The festival of Victory

 Dussehra in India is celebrated with great vigor and festivities by the Hindus. It is one of the best festivals in October in India. The festival marks the victory of good over evil. The 10-day long celebration includes melas and Ramlila – an enactment of the scenes from Ramayana. On the 10th day, the scene of Ravana Dahan is enactment. This is followed by the burning of the effigies of Ravana, Meghnath, and Kumbhakarna. The melas are held at various Ramlila grounds across the country and include food stalls, game stalls, Ferris-wheels and other fun activities. The celebration areas are lighted up brightly and even popular celebrities make appearances at the most popular Ramlila spots.

Amidst all the commonalities, the less known fact is that reasons for Dussehra celebrations differ from one place to another, and so do the elements. As the stages are being set for the most pompous festivities, we now bring to you the better among the best Dussehra celebrations in India. As we have all seen that in different countries the festival is celebrated among people beautifully and uniquely, and during this chaotic festival our HIMCOM students played an act of "RAMAYANA" and also presented "GARBA" dance performance. The whole play & dance performed by students was presented beautifully in such a way were students also learned about the theatre skills which is also a part of there enrolled mass communication syllabus. Elsewhere, we practice the beauty of Dussehra with our students and faculties in our campus only and enjoyed the glorious event.
