Fair & Fastival

Kullu Dusshera

The Kullu Dussehra festival is one of the most significant cultural events in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh. It is a week-long festival that is celebrated every year in the month of October, in honor of Lord Rama's victory over Ravana, as depicted in the Hindu epic, Ramayana.


The festival begins with a grand procession of Lord Raghunath, the presiding deity of Kullu, carried on a decorated chariot from its temple in Sultanpur to Dhalpur Maidan in Kullu town. The procession is accompanied by music, dance, and colorful costumes worn by the locals, and it is a sight to behold.


During the festival, the entire town of Kullu is decorated with colorful lights, flowers, and streamers, and there are cultural performances and fairs that take place throughout the week. The festival culminates with the burning of a huge effigy of Ravana, which symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.

Apart from the religious significance, the Kullu Dussehra festival is also a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of the region. It is an occasion for the locals to come together and showcase their traditional costumes, music, and dance forms, such as the Kullu Natti and the Kinnauri Natti.


The Kullu Dussehra festival is a must-see event for anyone visiting the Kullu Valley during the festival season. It is an opportunity to witness the unique cultural traditions of the region, and to experience the warmth and hospitality of the locals.

Kullu Dusshera ends all the fairs and festivals celebrated in the valley.
