 Dussehra Fair, Rajasthan Tour Packages Dussehra is held every year in the Hindu month of Ashvin (Sep-Oct). This festival, which celebrates the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana, is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in India. Rajasthan also keeps up the tradition and celebrates this colorful festival on a large scale. However, the city of Kota in Rajasthan is the place to be in during this mega event and the main cause of its attraction is the annual Dussehra Mela that draws people from far and wide.
The Dussehra Mela in Kota is a riot of colors. Well-decorated shops, cultural performances and colorfully clad locals - all vie for your attention as soon as you enter the fair. Theatrical enactments and performances from the Ramayana are greatly popular with the visitors. However, the main highlight of the fair is the burning of the effigies of Ravana, his brother Kumbhakarna and his son Meghnath. Slogans praising the victory of good over evil rent the air as the burning effigies come down to the ground.
As the day wears on, many other events take place one after another thus adding up to a very enjoyable experience. If you are in Rajasthan during this festive season, don't forget to visit Kota and get a taste of Rajasthan like never before.
A calendar of the fairs and festivals in Rajasthan is given below:
