Bastar Dussehra
In Bastar Dussehra, the earlier tradition of “Dhanukandiya Ram,” where Bhattara men resembling Lord Ram with bows led the chariot, has now ended. Instead, for security reasons, “Ramdhari Bhattara” individuals walk ahead of the chariot carrying Goddess Danteshwari. Historically, it is believed that Lord Ram spent his exile in Bastar, giving the region strong cultural ties with him.
