Dushhera: Nasik

A few images from the Dusshera celebrations in Nashik, Maharastra.


Based on the Hindu epic of good triumphing over evil, Dusshera celebrates the defeat of the demon god Ravana by the hero Ram and his followers.



The temples were full all day with devotees making offerings to the gods, kids were dressed up as the hero
Hanuman, and in the evening a huge effigy of Ravana was burned in true wicker man style.
