Chhattisgarh: Six cattle die at temporary shelter in Bilaspur after heavy rains; villagers claim toll 30
Reported by Deccan Herald.
Mendra observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Chhattisgarh.
The principal temple recorded for Sankari mandal is Karrabaghin madir. No temple of this dedication is on record within Mendra 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, Mendra ranks #23 of 71 villages in Sankari mandal.
