Dusshera 2015

The day Lord Ram defeated the 10-headed Ravana is celebrated as the festival of Dusshera. Streets are lit with colourful lights, every street has a huge mela or fair, Ram-Leelas are held in most colonies, and the Ravana-dahn takes place as well. But what if Ravana lived in this day and age?

In the BHEL Grounds of East Bhopal, 65-year-old Om Prakash Sahu and his team busy are busy putting the finishing touches on an over 80-feet tall Ravan effigy - the tallest in the city - ahead of Dusshera on Thursday.
