Ravan Dahan In Delhi
Delhi is set to witness a spectacular Ravan Dahan on Thursday evening, with giant effigies of Ravana—towering between 80 and 200 feet—ready to be set ablaze across the city’s skyline. The celebrations will take place at Ramlila grounds across the capital, with the ceremonial burning scheduled between 6:06 PM and 7:19 PM, aligning with the auspicious Pradosh period.
Thousands of residents in Delhi-NCR are expected to participate in the Dussehra festivities, which mark the conclusion of Navratri. Vijayadashami, or Dussehra, is one of Hinduism’s most important festivals, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
The tradition of Ravan Dahan—burning the effigy of Ravana—recreates Lord Rama’s victory over the demon king as narrated in the Ramayana. Beyond its pageantry, the ritual embodies the timeless message that truth and dharma ultimately prevail over falsehood and injustice.
