Grand Ravana Vadh event

Maranga Durga Puja Committee member Nagendra Kumar Yadav said that the tradition of Ravana Vadh on the occasion of Dussehra in Maranga started from 2021. This year the height of other effigies along with 40 feet Ravana was also increased. The construction of effigies started from September 27, in which Kasba and local artists together prepared effigies from bamboo and cloth. After Ravana Dahan, cultural programs were also organized, in which active participation of local people was seen.

Vijayadashami festival was celebrated with great pomp in Supaul. An effigy of 55 feet Ravana and 45 feet Meghnad was made in the Gandhi Maidan of the city.

There were tight security arrangements in the event, in which police force was deployed and movement of vehicles was banned.
