While much of India celebrates Dussehra by burning Ravana effigies, the Dave Godha clan in Mandore of Rajasthan, mourns the demon king’s death. YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, aka Flying Beast, recently shared pictures from Mandore, also known as “Ravana Ka Sasural,” where special prayers are held in a temple dedicated to Ravana. The clan, claiming to be Ravana’s descendants, honours him as a great ruler and scholar. Mandore is believed to be the hometown of Ravana’s wife, Mandodari, making it a significant location for this unique Dussehra tradition. While celebrations are held elsewhere, here Ravana’s legacy is solemnly remembered. No Happy Dussehra in These Ravana Temples in India!
