Ravana Dahan
Every year the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana is spectacularly celebrated
with the burning of two giant 30ft papier mache effigies of Ravana and
Kumbhkarana. The effigies, packed with fireworks, provide a grand display
and evoke sentiments of victory over evil in thousands of spectators
who congregate from all parts of the town or city.
(The ten-headed effigy is that of Ravana (first row) and the single-headed
effigy is of Kumbhkarana).
