Dussehra Across India: Ramlila, Ayudha Puja, Sindoor Khela and Kullu
by TOHFA · 4 Oct 2026
Dussehra is one festival with many faces. Here is how some regions mark Vijayadashami.
North India: Ramlila and Ravan Dahan
In the towns and cities of the north, Ramlila performances re-enact the Ramayana over several evenings. On Dussehra itself, tall effigies of Ravana, and often of his brother Kumbhakarna and son Meghnad, are burned at dusk to loud cheers. For many families it is an outing, with a fair and sweets.
West Bengal and the East: the end of Durga Puja
Dashami is the last day of Durga Puja. Married women offer sweets to the goddess and apply sindoor to each other in the ritual known as Sindoor Khela, and the idols are then carried to the river for immersion.
The South: Ayudha Puja and Saraswati Puja
In Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the ninth day is often marked with Ayudha Puja, when tools, instruments, books and vehicles are cleaned, decorated and worshipped, and not used for the day. In Kerala, children are commonly introduced to writing on Vijayadashami, a custom known as Vidyarambham. Saraswati, the goddess of learning, is central to these days.
