Dusshera !!

October, 17

The colony in which we live is so happening, all the kids here celebrate all festivals, we have regular get together here. Few days back we celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi, we made a tent and decorated it. We worshiped Ganesha for next 10 days.

Now everyone has planned to celebrate dusshera. We have two teams here one will be preparing Ravan and another Meghnath. One is headed by Shubham & Rohit Chachu another lead by Sakshi Bua. We (me, Dad & Mom) are in Ravan's group.

Ravan group is bit slow, we have started on the very Dusshera day. While Meghnath group has already prepared the statue a day before. We first created a skeleton using timber wood. Then we covered it with gunny bags and finally skinned the statue using colored papers.

Ravan and Meghnath

9:00 PM is the decided time for dahan, everyone gathered by this time. Sakshi bua announced that everyone will sing Hanuman Chalisa, since this time we are not playing Ram-Leela. After reading Hanuman Chalisa paath, Shubam, Shivam and Rohit Chachu set idols to fire.
