Nepal floods: A Bihar village grapples with loss and crushing debt
Reported by Livemint.
Mahammadpur observes Dussehra (Vijayadashami) on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, along with the rest of Bihar.
The principal temple recorded for Marhaura mandal is Jay Baba Vidyapati Dham Temple. No temple of this dedication is on record within Mahammadpur 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.
By population, Mahammadpur ranks #41 of 106 villages in Marhaura mandal.
