Dussehra (Vijayadashami) in Uttar Pradesh

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.

The Ramlila of Ramnagar

Across the river at Ramnagar the Ramlila runs for thirty-one days rather than an evening, staged without amplification across the town itself, with different quarters standing in for Ayodhya, Janakpur and Lanka. Ramlila was inscribed by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008, and the Ramnagar cycle has been kept for more than two hundred years.
