Dussehra Mela, Kota
During Dussehra, a huge mela is held at Kota, Rajasthan to mark the festival Dussehra.
Unlike the other festivals in Rajasthan, Dussehra mela is held only for 3days and does not get over crowded by tourists.
On the last day the effigies of the Ravana clan are burnt. Rajasthani handicrafts, joy rides and the food stalls are the prized possessions of this mela.
Dussehra, Jagdalpur, Bastar
The most important festival in Bastar is the Dusshera when all the deities from the surrounding villages unite at the temple of Danteshwari in Jagdalpur, the district head quarters.
Unlike Dusshera in other parts of India, here it is not the return of Rama to Ayodhaya.
Dusshera in Bastar is devoted entirely to the goddess, Danteshwari Devi.
The festival involves participation of all the major tribes of Bastar.
