Chhattisgarh floods: IAF rescues 12 stranded on hut roof as Indravati rises above danger mark; watch
Reported by The Times of India.
Jharabahal observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Chhattisgarh.
The principal temple recorded for Devbhog mandal is Gudhiyari Shiv temple, Kesharpal Chhattisgarh. No temple of this dedication is on record within Jharabahal itself.
Bastar Dussehra runs about seventy-five days and is tied to Danteshwari rather than to the Ramayana — the longest observance of the festival anywhere.
