Five Fests in row ever rocks

“Three Holy Holidays in a row ever rock lake city!”
For the years the nation India’s Hindu community celebrate the fest Dashahara throughout the nation. The Hindus who dwell in other nations also celebrate Dashahara by following certain social and ritual tradition of the Hindu myth. The Udaipurites also celebrate this festival of holy Dashahara with hilarious bang and spirit. Yes particularly the worthy and dense cultured society of Sindhi plays the worthy and prime role to execute the Dashahara festival. Other Hindu castes also play the supporting role to way out the glittering procession.The society of Sindhi is so united and totally dominated and dedicated to public welfare works and also the pious work of Indian cultural form.
Every year the Sindhi society’s biggies lift up the responsibility by self interest and delivered the responsibility of making effigies of mighty Rawan with ten heads and of Kunmbhakarn and Meghanad with all close touch. And point to be attended that the workers of preparing effigies are Muslims who traditionally perform the customized trend every year with great interest.
The work is started from the swinging beginning of
holy Nouraatri fest in the prosperous area of Shakti Nagar which is the colony where Sindhi community inhabited in the most number.

On the day of Dashahara a huge procession is exercised through the leading roads of the city where people of different caste and creed welcome it by showering flower petals and vermilion (sindur ,abir and gulal-the colourful dust or powder which is considered as holy material) The devotees who comprised in the procession wear colourful dresses particularly the saffron and red and before started the procession the red mark( Tilak) is stuck or applied at the forehead of the devotees. Throughout the procession many things as manna are distributed among the devotees or worthy presence. The volunteers adopt badges and manage the whole procession smartly. There are the tableaux or tableaus of religious concern are comprised in the procession. There are the horses, camels and elephants are also increased the pomp and glory of it. The royal boggy as chariot is adorned in which lord Rama , Laxman, Hanuman and other mythological character like Jamanat , Sugriv and Angad seat in the acted form. They are prepared by the professionals with real touch by applying suitable costumes and aids like bows , arrows,swords and maces, etc. The procession is marched throughout the major markets with great passion but all discipline and moral duties. The tide of devotion touches with holy heights by exercising holy slogans. with holy sounds and noise the atmosphere coloured with holy spirit and the holy slogans echo in the sphere. The hymns are sung by the devotees. The holy songs are also tuned by DJ or electronic devices. Thus the procession displays its adoration to the holy tradition of Hinduism. The procession reaches at the historic Gandhi Ground which is also called by name -Maharana Bhopal Stadium. At this certain venue the effigies of those three I’ll figures which have to be burnt as per the custom are stood or staked up there. Those three effigies are in the giant shape with real touch of those evil characters and by the experts the fireworks and crackers are put manageably that they could not way directions where the holy spectators are sat to watch the event of burning those hatred characters. The stadium which has capacity of 50 thousand filled up and no place is seemed vacant there.
First of all the procession reach there by its fixed scheduled and then the live ritual forms taken gradually. First of all lord Rama worship lord Shiva and goddess Katyayini. The oman is fixed after sunset because the burnt up ceremony of the effigies can be enjoyed in the dark.
Then lord Hanuman light up Lankapury according to the omen or Muhurat which is shaped in a fixed territory. Then by turn the effigy of Meghanad is fired by Laxman who shoots out a burning missile like arrow just after Kunbhakarn is killed symbolically yes by Lord Rama by his lighting arrow and lastly most awaited and humiliating figure Rawan’s effigy is targeted. Lord Rama the actor or symbolic character hits out some arrows but not succeed and then Vibhishan suggests Lord Rama to hit out the arrow at the belly where the nectar is filled up and he only kill if the arrow is shot out at the appropriate organ. Then Lord Rama symbolically hits out the arrow targeting the place and then Ravana is burnt up and the sky is twinkling with the cv colourful bright fireworks and huge bang like sound given deafening noise and the spectators enjoy these moments with all relics and relish. Then the people dispersed in sane manner by cooperative each other by keeping great patience.
One more thing I do attend that on the day of Dashahara the yagya or yazna (The holy pyre is lit out by chanting holy cantos by the pandits or priests by pouring fixed ritual material) are executed with the holy heights. The traditional rites of offering creatures as sacrifice is given in the holy shrines of goddess maa Durga and particularly at the princely state’s dynasties and feudal related royal ones. Though public sacrifice of innocent beasts is prohibited or illegal but it is exercised on such day to have holy spirit.
According to “Ranchandi or Durga Saptashi ” the holy recital form book the sacrifice offerings to goddess ma Kali and Ranchandi make please to the goddess and she showers Her great pity and blessings. It is later eaten as manna.
Thus these holiday of three days are enjoyed with paramount holy heights that starts from Mahadurga Ashtami them Mahadurga Navmi and most celebrating day of Mahadashmi on which the Hindu community start new enterprises by belief the most omen day which is the guarantee of being grand success. Happy Dashahara to be trusted that we indeed kill up all evils and lead only the path of lord Rama’s ideal ideology.
