Chandigarh: Ahead of Vijayadashmi 2018, a 210-feet tall effigy of Ravan is being built in Panchkula. As many as 40 workers are working on the effigy which will have a 50-feet long sword. The effigy will be erected on October 15.
Even though the Navratris is centered around the worship of the Goddess Durga, it actually marks the victory of Ram over Ravana. Navratri begins with the worshipping of Shailputri.
