In Photos: Himachal Pradesh's Iconic Kullu Dussehra Celebrations

The iconic weeklong Kullu Dussehra celebrations are currently ongoing at the Dhalpur Maidan, Kullu. Himachal Pradesh's mountainous Kullu district is holding the The International Dussehra Festival to celebrate its unique festival. While Dussehra in rest of India celebrates the victory of Lord Rama over demon King Ravana in the Hindu epic Ramayana, Kullu Dussehra celebrates its local deity Lord Raghunath’s traditional Rath Yatra in which a wooden chariot and more than 300 local deities convert the historic Dhalpur Maidan into a divine congregation, blending ancient culture, religious fervour, and practices.
