Dussehra is a festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil. While it is celebrated all over India, the celebration in Himachal is a little different. In Kullu, instead of burning an effigy of Ravan, they celebrate Lord Raghunath instead. The traditional Dussehra celebration lasts for a week with a procession of Lord Raghunath taken around the town on a beautifully decorated chariot. There is dancing, singing and feasting on the following days and other cultural festivals are also held at this time. The Kullu fair and Nainadevi fair draws quite a few visitors.
