Reported by The Times of India.
Adhchara observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Chhattisgarh.
The principal temple recorded for Kukdur mandal is Ghatarani. No temple of this dedication is on record within Adhchara 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.
The regional form observed across Bastar, Chhattisgarh. How any one household or village keeps it varies, and is not something recorded here.
By population, Adhchara ranks #87 of 96 villages in Kukdur mandal.
