Kullu Dussehra: A unique festival in the Himalayas
Last day experiencing Kullu Dussehra:

After exploring the Parvati Valley, on the last day, we headed to experience Kullu Dussehra. Though we knew it’s special, we had no idea how people celebrate Dussehra in Kullu region. Even while approaching Kullu, we noticed groups of devotees carrying their deities in palanquins towards Kullu town. Reaching Kullu, we saw these devotees coming from various nearby villages camping all over the town with their deities.

When we reached Dhalpur Maidan, it was such an interesting scene! Towards one end of the ground (somewhere near the government college), there was a large crowd. Slowly and steadily, the whole ground (quite a big ground) filled up with thousands of visitors. One after the other, all the deities in procession with their devotees drumming and trumpeting, reached the celebration ground. By the hour, the atmosphere became more and more devotional. It was a Dussehra experience like never before for us.
