Chhattisgarh floods: IAF rescues 12 stranded on hut roof as Indravati rises above danger mark; watch
Reported by The Times of India.
Devipur observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Chhattisgarh.
The principal temple recorded for Pakhanjur mandal is Kapileswar Temple Group and Baori. No temple of this dedication is on record within Devipur 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, Devipur ranks #53 of 112 villages in Pakhanjur mandal.
