PM Modi, President Murmu Lead Dussehra Celebrations as Ravan Effigies Burn Across India

Dussehra celebrations across India featured giant Ravan effigies, fireworks and grand Ramlila events. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta joined festivities in New Delhi.

 

Giant effigies of Ravan were set ablaze in cities across India on Dussehra, drawing large crowds of spectators who gathered to witness the traditional burning amid fireworks. From the national capital, New Delhi, to several cities in Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal, grand Ramlila events marked the festival, with the presence of prominent political leaders adding significance to the celebrations.

In New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and other leaders participated in Vijayadashami celebrations, using bows and arrows to convey the message of the victory of good over evil.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Vijayadashami समारोह organised by the Shri Ramlila Committee Indraprastha in New Delhi. During the event, he appeared on stage with a bow and arrow and participated in the burning of Ravan's effigy. He also extended Vijayadashami greetings to the people of the country and urged them to follow the ideals of Lord Shri Ram.

Addressing the gathering from the stage, Modi called for unity among citizens, institutions and political parties in the national interest. He said, “Our thoughts should be the same, and all institutions and all political parties in the country should stand together for the country's interests. We must stand united to face the enemies of the country. Those who want to damage the country's honour, those who divide society, and those who hate our culture are the enemies of the country. Today, on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami, we must reaffirm our resolve. We must identify the enemies of Mother India and defeat them.”
