Saurav Ganguly to burn 50-feet-tall Ravana effigy on Dussehra organized by   Salt Lake Sanskritik Sansad & Sanmarg at Central Park (Salt Lake), Kolkata

Kolkata, 30th September, 2022: Keeping up with the tradition of burning the tallest effigy in the city of joy during Dussehra, Salt Lake Sanskritik Sansad Committee & Sanmarg is all set to burn a 50-feet tall Ravana and 40 feet effigies of Meghnad and Kumbhakaran at the Central Park (Salt Lake), Kolkata. The main objective of this event is to provide a vibrant interface between the citizens and the rich culture & tradition of West Bengal.

 

The event is expected to draw thousands of devotees, who will throng the grounds to witness the annual ritual - the burning of an effigy of demon king Ravan. Many people of Hindu faith observe Dussehra through special prayer meetings and food offerings to the gods at home or in temples throughout India. They also hold outdoor fairs and large parades with effigies of the demon king Ravana, which are burnt on bonfires in the evening. Idols of goddess Durga are immersed in bodies of water.

 

Speaking about the event, Sri. Pradeep Todi, President of Salt Lake Sanskritik Sansad said, “It would be really special to have Sourav Gangly as our chief guest this year. We have made many special arrangements at Central Park ground to celebrate the victory of good over evil, besides burning of the 50-feet-tall effigy of a strongly built Ravana, we will be also organizing a separate fire show during the event.

 

Sri. Lalit BeriwalaMargdarshak of Salt Lake Sanskritik Sansad said, “We would be celebrating our 10th year of Dussehra event which is also known as East India’s biggest event. As Vijaya Dashami marks the end of the annual Durga Puja festival, effigies of Ravan are burnt across the country to celebrate the victory of good over evil. We will be hiring artists from various states to perform during the function. Apart from this, a series of rituals will be performed before the burning of the effigy where we are expecting a crowd of more than 25,000 people.”
