INDIA-RELIGION-FESTIVAL-DUSSHERA

TO GO WITH INDIA-RELIGION-FESTIVAL-DUSSHERA In this photograph taken on September 30, 2014, an Indian resident waits for customers at a ride at a fair to celebrate the Dusshera festival in New Delhi. With traditional theatre and the burning of giant effigies, millions of Hindus across northern India are celebrating a religious festival that symbolises the triumph of good over evil. Outside the walls of the Indian capital's imposing Red Fort, plays are performed nightly that renact revered Hindu deity Ram's battle to kill the demon king Ravana. In the nine days leading up to the Dussehra festival, which falls this year on October 3, hundreds are flocking to catch one of the plays or Ramlila that are based on the epic Ramayana text.
