Ravan Dahan on Dussehra inspires nostalgia in all of us, especially when we watch huge effigies of Ravana, Meghnad, and Kumbhakarna burn. Dussehra is a festival that commemorates the win of good over evil. The time has arrived but this year in a fear of Covid outbreak, Dussehra celebrations in Jaipur will be symbolic rather than ceremonial.

The festival of Ramlila and Ravana Dahan has been happening since 1950. Thousands of visitors used to come every year, but for the first time in decades, the Dussehra ground will be seen deserted on the day of Dussehra. The government has implemented Section 144, and there is a ban on gathering. 

However, keeping in view the religious sentiments of the people, the district administration has allowed the burning of effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakaran and Meghnath on Dussehra with the advice of social distance maintenance. According to religious tradition, there will be a regular Ravana Dahan ritual the presence of selected people.
