Noida village worships Ravan as 'Son of soil', rejects effigy burning on Dussehra

Digital Desk | Greater Noida (UP), Oct 20 (IANS) While Dussehra is celebrated across India by burning the effigies of Ravan, Meghnad and Kumbhkaran to symbolise the victory of good over evil, Bisrakh village in Uttar Pradeshs Greater Noida follows a distinct tradition of worshipping Ravan instead. Located around 30 kilometres from the national Capital, the village is believed to be the birthplace of Ravan, the demon king from the Hindu epic Ramayana. Unlike other parts of the country, residents here refrain from burning his effigy, considering the practice disrespectful to their ancestors. Instead, devotees offer prayers and perform religious rituals for Ravan. Speaking to IANS, Mahant Ramdas Maharaj said the village holds a special place in local religious beliefs and is associated with sages Brahma and Pulastya. This is Ravans birthplace and was once the ashram of Sage Brahma and Sage Pulastya. Ravan is worshipped here every day throughout the year. Today is Dussehra, and a 'yagya' is being performed. The temple has been beautifully decorated, and special prayers are being offered to Ravana, he said. He added that people from several areas visit the temple on the occasion to offer flowers and sweets. Religious ceremonies, including 'havans', are conducted during the day and continue into the evening. According to local tradition, Bisrakh was earlier known as Vishveshara, a name associated with Ravanas father, Vishrava. It is believed that Sage Vishrava was born in the village during the Treta Yuga and established a Shiva Lingam there. Ravan, who was a devotee of Lord Shiva, is also believed to have worshipped at the site. The temple has attracted growing attention on social media, bringing visitors from different parts of the country to witness the villages distinctive Dussehra observance. Bisrakh is not the only place where Ravan receives religious reverence. A temple in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur follows a different tradition, with devotees offering prayers to the ten-headed king instead of celebrating his destruction. The Dashanan Temple, located within the Kailash Temple complex in the Shiwala area of Kanpur, is known for its unique tradition of opening its doors only once a year, on Vijayadashami. The temple remains closed for the other 364 days. Speaking to IANS, temple priest Pandit Ram Bajpai said, The shrine was built in 1868 by Maharaj Guru Prasad Shukla. On Dussehra, the temple doors are opened in the morning, following which the idol of Ravana is ceremonially bathed with milk and holy water. The rituals are then performed according to traditional customs, followed by prayers and aarti. The temple's distinctive tradition stems from the belief that Ravana should not be viewed solely as a symbol of evil but also as a highly learned scholar, an intelligent ruler, and a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. Devotees visit the shrine on Vijayadashami to seek blessings and offer prayers, flowers, and oil lamps. The annual opening draws worshippers who wish to pay their respects to Ravana's scholarly attributes and his devotion to Lord Shiva. Similarly, while Dussehra celebrations across the country traditionally culminate in the burning of Ravanas effigies, a village in Madhya Pradeshs Vidisha district, too, observes the festival differently, worshipping the King of Lanka, affectionately known as 'Ravan Baba', as its presiding deity. Speaking to IANS, Pandit Naresh Tiwari, the priest at the Ravan temple, said the villagers believed that Ravan Baba protected the community and that every auspicious occasion should begin with his blessings. Located in Nateran tehsil of Vidisha, Ravan village is home to an ancient temple believed by locals to date back to the Parmar era. The temple houses a 12-foot idol of Ravana in a reclining posture, where daily prayers and aarti are performed. Rather than burning his effigy on Dussehra, villagers organise Ramayana recitations, devotional singing, and a grand community feast, drawing devotees from Vidisha, Bhopal and neighbouring areas. Our village, named Ravan, has an idol of Ravan Maharaj established. Ravan Baba Maharaj presides here, and our entire village resides under his protection. All our tasks are accomplished through him, Tiwari said. The priest added that villagers seek the deitys blessings before weddings, pre-wedding rituals, Bhagwat Kirtans, and Ramayana recitations. According to him, failing to seek the deitys blessings before beginning an auspicious undertaking is believed to invite obstacles.

Vijayadashmi: Ravan effigy to be burnt at 35 locations across Noida amid tight security

Digital Desk | Noida, Oct 20 (IANS) Vijayadashmi will be celebrated with great enthusiasm in Uttar Pradesh's Noida on Tuesday as people gather to witness the 'Ravan Dahan', while some participate in the immersion of Goddess Durga idols. Vijayadashami, or Dussehra, is a festival symbolising the victory of truth over falsehood. On this occasion, Ravan effigies will be burnt at 35 locations across the city, while the Goddess Durga idol immersion will take place at approximately 200 sites. Anticipating large crowds during the festivities, the police and local administration have put comprehensive security arrangements in place. Approximately 2,200 police personnel, including 300 women officers, will be deployed to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of devotees. Additionally, the fire department has kept 26 fire tenders and around 250 firefighting personnel on standby to handle any emergencies. In light of the Dussehra celebrations and the immersion of Goddess Durga idols, the Noida Traffic Police has devised a special traffic diversion plan. Traffic arrangements on several city routes will be altered from 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday until late evening. According to the police, traffic on major routes will be regulated to manage expected crowds and increased volume of vehicles. Motorists are advised to check their intended routes before leaving home and plan their travel accordingly. Under the traffic diversion plan, the road leading from Rajnigandha towards Sector 12, Sector 22, and Sector 56, also known as Master Plan Road-1, is expected to experience heavy traffic pressure. Vehicle movement on this route is likely to be affected due to the Dussehra celebrations. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time when using this route and to opt for alternative paths if necessary. In view of the events scheduled around Noida Stadium in Sector 21, traffic arrangements on the roads surrounding the stadium will be modified. Additionally, traffic diversions will be implemented in the Sector 62 area as and when required. According to the police, these arrangements may remain in place until the crowds disperse following the 'Ravan Dahan' (effigy burning). The public is therefore urged to avoid taking vehicles unnecessarily into the vicinity of the event venues and to strictly follow the instructions of the traffic police. DCP (Traffic) Syed Ali Abbas stated that special arrangements have been made by the traffic police for the convenience of the public. A helpline number, 9971009001, has been issued to provide traffic-related information and assistance. Citizens may contact this number in the event of traffic congestion or any other traffic-related issues. The police have requested motorists to park their vehicles only in designated parking areas and to refrain from stopping or parking on the roads. Haphazard parking on the road obstructs traffic flow and can lead to congestion. Action may be taken against vehicles found in violation of these rules. The traffic police have also made provisions to remove vehicles parked on the roads using cranes, if necessary. Furthermore, the Fire Department has been placed on high alert to address any potential fire hazards or other emergencies during the Dussehra celebrations and the immersion of Durga idols. A total of 26 fire tenders and approximately 250 firefighting personnel will be deployed across the city to ensure an immediate response to any untoward incident. Special attention will also be given to security arrangements and crowd control at the event venues. The police and the administration have appealed to the public to celebrate Dussehra peacefully, disregard rumours, adhere to traffic regulations, and cooperate with police personnel. Officials have stated that all necessary measures have been taken to maintain security and traffic flow, ensuring that the public can celebrate Vijayadashami in a safe and convenient manner.
