DUSSEHRA CELEBRATION-2

Day-2 marks the end of Dussehra festival.

 

Day-2 is celebrated as "BHARAT MILAP" & "RAJ ABHISHEK" i.e. on this day Hindu God:Ram is said to returned back to his home after defeating devil king Ravana & ending his 14 years in exile along his wife Sita and brother Laxman.

 

Upon their arrival back in Ayodhya, Ram is welcomed by his brother Bharat and rest of his family. Ram & Sita are crowned as king & queen of Ayodhya. People celebrate this homecoming of their God & King by lighting up oil lamps in their home & streets(which will be celebrated as upcoming DIWALI (festival of lights). It's related to Dussehra festival on 26th Oct in India).

 

I really had great time enjoying the festive end of Dussehra. It's something i really feel proud to be associated with my home town. Over the years I've seen this festival growing and taking shape of biggest event of the year in my small home town. Weeks before Dussehra -people get thrilled and excited for Dussehra preparations and the very air is filled up with festive mood which also marks the end of summer season in north India.

 

I've so many precious memories of my childhood relating to this Dussehra festival and i really get to cherish those nostalgic days once again:)

 

In the images below you can see various actors & small kids dressed up to represent various Hindu Gods. There were also amazing fireworks to commemorate homecoming & crowning Ram as King.

 

On October 26th we will be celebrating our biggest festival in India i.e.DIWALI (festival of lights). It's related to Dussehra festival as on this day people light up their homes, streets with oil lamps everywhere and burn firecrackers to welcome their King/God Ram.
