Virbhadra lits 45 ft high Ravan effigy

Shimla, Oct 11 (UNI) The 45-feet tall effigy of demon king Ravana, along with son Meghnath and brother Kumbhkarna was consigned to flames at Jakhu Hills by Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, as the nation today celebrated Dussehra, the festival symbolising victory of good over evil, signifying Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana with great zeal and gusto.
The Chief Minister said Dussehra symbolises victory of truth and good and anyone eyeing on the nation with an evil eye would certainly be given a befitting reply.
