Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami marks the end of the nine-day-long Navratri festival, when effigies of Ravana are burnt to mark the victory of good over evil. However, this year, heavy rains seem to have cast a shadow on the celebrations, with visuals from West Delhi showing an effigy of Ravan toppled and lying flat on the ground.

In Delhi, the timing for Ravan Dahan is from 6:05 pm – 7:10 pm.

PM Modi is reportedly likely to take part in the Dussehra celebrations in East Delhi – where he will attend the festivities at the Utsav Ground in IP Extension, Patparganj for the Ravan Dahan ceremony.
