Summary

The biggest festival held in India carries on for seven days with non-stop processions of colourful floats. But the highlight to the celebrations of ‘Dussehra’ when good triumphs over evil, is the spectacular burning of three mammoth effigies of the bad men; which are crammed full of fireworks and give thousands in the Capital City one of the biggest and best free shows in the world.
