 "Ravana effigy 'fires back' during Dussehra celebrations; video goes viral")
Burning huge effigies of Ravana during Dussehra celebrations is a common practice across India. Notably, as Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami symbolises the victory of good over evil, people in various states celebrate the occasion by burning effigies of the Asur King as well as of Kumbhkaran, and Meghnadh every year. Thereafter, the ritual of Ravana Dahan is a significant practice during Dussehra and is celebrated on the final day of Navratri. During the celebrations of Dussehra, minor accidents or mishaps have also become very common as huge effigies are burned in the presence of a massive crowd, thus raising the chances of accidents. In one such incident which took place in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar, a Ravana Dahan ceremony ‘backfired’ at the spectators after the burning effigy started shooting fire into the crowd that had gathered to witness the Dussehra celebrations. Shared widely on Twitter and other social media platforms, the video shows a huge Ravana effigy being burned while a crowd was present. However, shortly after that, the crackers on the effigy started shooting fire into the crowd, creating a situation of chaos on the ground. The people along with the police personnel deployed on the ground were running for cover to escape the incoming fire. Later many of them retreated to their respective positions. Watch the video here:
