Dussehra (Vijayadashami) in Bihar

Ramlila through the nine nights and the burning of Ravana, Meghnad and Kumbhakarna effigies on Dussehra evening. Kullu Dussehra in Himachal begins on Vijayadashami and runs a week, with village deities carried to Dhalpur maidan.

The regional form observed across North India. How any one household or village keeps it varies, and is not something recorded here.
