Reported by The Times of India.
Khaira observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Chhattisgarh.
The principal temple recorded for Pathariya mandal is Phanikeshwar Mahadev Temple, Fingeshwar. No temple of this dedication is on record within Khaira 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, Khaira ranks #64 of 101 villages in Pathariya mandal.
