Best Ravan Dahans in last 10 years
Ravana is the epic villain of one of the most prominently know mythological book of the Hindu religion known as Ramayana. Ravan was one of the most brilliant individuals in the story or perhaps the history of ancient times, but he always used his brilliance for destruction. He captured the wife of Lord Rama and took her to his kingdom (which in present times is known as Sri Lanka).
It is said that Ravan had ten heads, and each of them represents a different aspect of life, like love, lust, anger, and many more. The man was the master of all these aspects and had enormous powers, but he got distracted from the righteous path. Hence, he is considered as a mark of evil, and Hindu followers still burn his large figures to signify the fact that good always wins over the evil.
What is the significance of such an event?
This incident takes place each year on the day Lord Ram killed him. People gather at places and burn his large figures during the festival of Dushera. In India, people do celebrate this, and the event is called “Ravan Dahan.” Throughout India, people do love to celebrate the event in different ways. Some of the tallest figures of Ravan are made, and people celebrate the event of the victory of good over evil.
