Temple in Kurud mandal

The principal temple recorded for Kurud mandal is Sankat Mochan Hanuman Mandir. No temple of this dedication is on record within Sonpur itself.

Dussehra (Vijayadashami) in Chhattisgarh

Bastar Dussehra runs about seventy-five days and is tied to Danteshwari rather than to the Ramayana — the longest observance of the festival anywhere.

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