Dussehra 2025: "Somewhere mourns somewhere, pooja ...", knows about the places of India where Ravana burning doesn't happen

Dussehra is a symbol of the victory of good about evil and is a very celebrated Hindu festival in India. On this day, the defeat of evil is celebrated by organizing the burning of Ravana across the country and the fair (Dussehra 2025). From children to elders, the entire Ravana comes to the fair to see burning and swing the swing. Surprisingly, however, there are some communities and towns in India where this festival is not celebrated. Yes, it may sound surprising to hear, but there are many cultural beliefs behind it. Let’s learn more about it. The tradition of not celebrating Dussehra in some towns of Mandsaur (Madhya Pradesh) Mandsaur district is centuries old. It is believed that people here claim to be Ravana’s wife Mandodari’s mother uncle. Therefore, he considers Ravana his son -in -law and considers his slightly derogatory. Instead, they respect Ravana’s Shiva Bhakti and mourn on this day. Bisarkh (Uttar Pradesh) The people of the Bisarkh village in the Gautam Buddha Nagar district consider themselves descendants of Ravana. According to Folklore, this town is the birthplace of Ravana. Therefore, the effect of Ravana is not burned here on Dussehra, but it is worshiped. Amravati (Maharashtra) The tribal community of the Garhchauri region of the Amravati district considers Ravana as his ancestor. He believes that Ravana was a great scholar and a dedicated from Lord Shiva. Therefore, they do not celebrate Dussehra, nor do they burn the effect of Ravana. For him, this day is a day of respect and reminder of Ravana. Baijnath (Himachal Pradesh) According to the local beliefs of the people of Baijnath in the Kangra district, Ravana has fined here and satisfied Lord Shiva. For this reason, people here reverence for Ravana and do not burn the effects of Ravana on Dussehra. They regard the effects of Ravana as ominous. Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh) Kakinada also has reverence for Ravana in some parts of the city of Kakinada. Some communities here remember Ravana as a great scholar and a yogi. Therefore, they do not participate in the Dussehra festival, nor do they burn the effects of Ravana. Share this story -tags
