Dussehra
October
Kullu Manali, Himachal Pradesh
Dussehra celebrates the victory of good over evil and is observed on the 10th day of the rising moon in the month of Ashvina. While the rest of the nation’s Hindu’s rejoice the defeat of the demon king Ravana by their beloved prince Ram, in the Kullu Valley it is also commemorated as the anniversary of situating the idol of Lord Raghunath in the 17th century, by the then King Jagat Singh as a mark of penance.
