Hydro project valve failure triggers flooding in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu
Reported by The Times of India.
Dakha Aage observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Himachal Pradesh.
The principal temple recorded for Kullu mandal is Shri Mahadevi Tirth Sathan. No temple of this dedication is on record within Dakha Aage itself.
Ramlila through the nine nights and the burning of Ravana, Meghnad and Kumbhakarna effigies on Dussehra evening. Kullu Dussehra in Himachal begins on Vijayadashami and runs a week, with village deities carried to Dhalpur maidan.
The regional form observed across North India. How any one household or village keeps it varies, and is not something recorded here.
Kullu's Dussehra begins on Vijayadashami, the day the festival ends almost everywhere else, and runs for a week at the Dhalpur maidan. Hundreds of village devtas are carried down from their own hillsides on palanquins to attend, gathering around Raghunath, installed as the valley's ruling deity by Raja Jagat Singh in the seventeenth century. It is the village deities, not an effigy of Ravana, that this festival is built around.
