The nine-day Navratri festival comes to an end with the celebration of Dussehra on Shukla Paksha Dashmi in the month of Ashwin. The Dussehra festival marks Lord Rama's victory over Ravan, who had kidnapped Matha Sita. Thus, the burning of the ten-headed effigy of the demon king Ravana along with the effigies of Kumbhkaran and Meghanada (Ravana's son) is a significant ritual of the Dussehra celebration, also known as Vijayadashmi.

On Monday, the Ravan Dahan program was organised at Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple premises in Moosapet. On the occasion Former Corporator Thumu Shravan Kumar graced the event as Chief Guest. 

Speaking on the occasion Former Corporator Shravan Kumar said that, Ravan Dahan is standing evidence of the historical epoch that saw the revival and victory of Dharma over Adharma. Ravana, a manifestation of evil, was destroyed by Rama, a symbol of Dharma or righteousness. In this Division President Ambati Srinivas and other leaders were present and witnessed the program.
