Dussehra celebrated with religious fervour in Srinagar

Dussehra celebrated with religious fervour in Srinagar

Srinagar, Oct 12 (UNI) Dussehra, the festival marked the triumph of good over evil, was celebrated with great religious fervour in Srinagar, officials said.

In the summer capital, the Vijay Dashmi (Dussehra) was successfully held at the Sher-e-Kashmir Stadium, Srinagar.

Organized by the Kashmiri Pandit Sangarsh Samiti, an organization which primarily addresses the concerns of resident Kashmiri Pandits who stayed back in the Valley, the festival brought together diverse communities from across the region to witness the symbolic burning of effigies of Ravana, Meghnath, and Kumbhkaran.

National Conference President Farooq Abdullah also attended Dussehra celebrations at Srinagar's Stadium.

This one-of-a-kind event in the entire Kashmir Valley drew large crowds, including dignitaries, government officials, and officers from the local administration, all of whom joined the festivities in a spirit of unity, KPSS said
The KPSS also extended its deepest gratitude to Puneet Balan and the Puneet Balan Group for their generous support in making this event a grand success for the second consecutive year.

Building on the resounding success of last year’s Dussehra celebration, this year’s festival further strengthened the message of communal harmony.
Last year, the event saw a similar turnout, with people from all communities gathering to celebrate the age-old traditions that bind Kashmir’s social fabric.
