Nepal floods: A Bihar village grapples with loss and crushing debt
Reported by Livemint.
Khamhoura observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Bihar.
The principal temple recorded for Daraundha mandal is Hanuman Mandir. No temple of this dedication is on record within Khamhoura itself.
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.
