Dussehra Celebration in Our City
A Report
Dussehra Celebration was to take place in the Ram Lila Ground of our city. The timing of the burning of the effigy of Ravana was 6:00 pm. Therefore, I along with my elder brother reached the spot at 5:30 pm. There was already a big crowd there. There was standing a tall and splendid effigy of the demon king Ravana. The ground was decorated with colourful buntings. Besides, there were many stalls of eatables and toys. People were enjoying chat, gol-gappas, chow-min etc. Parents were buying balloons and flutes for their young children.
Some people especially the women were worshiping the statue of Ravana as per the Hindu rituals. There were policemen keeping the crowd away from the effigy. Suddenly, the noise turned into the roar when the procession carrying Ram, Laxman and Sita came there. The whole atmosphere was filled with the slogan,” Bhagwan Ram Chandra ki Jai.”. Then there was the fighting scene between Ram and Ravan. Ram killed Ravan. People were filled with enthusiasm.
Now Ram along with Laxman and Hanuman reached near the effigy. He took some rounds of it. Then he took out his arrow and burnt its tip and shot it at the effigy from a distance. Within a few seconds, the effigy caught fire and there were the explosive sounds of various crackers. It was the worth-seeing scene. Again, the slogans were raised. The noise was at its peak. The police had to do a lot of work to control the crowd. Within three or four minutes, the effigy was turned into ash. After that, the crowd started melting. We also returned home.
