Taking to X, PM Modi posted, “Heartfelt greetings of Vijayadashami to all fellow citizens. May Goddess Durga and Lord Shri Ram bless you with success in every aspect of life. This is my wish.”

Festivities In The Capital: A Cultural Showcase

The national capital is all set for grand celebrations, with a special highlight being the annual Dussehra festivities hosted by the Shri Dharmik Leela Committee in Delhi.

Meanwhile, both President Murmu and Prime Minister Modi are likely to attend this year’s event, which will culminate in the traditional burning of the effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna, and Meghnath – a symbol of good triumphing over evil.

The event, which is likely to begin at 5:30 PM, marks the conclusion of a 101-year-old Ramleela performance that has entertained and inspired audiences over the past several days.

The Special Protection Group (SPG) has implemented elaborate security arrangements to ensure the safety of all attendees as part of the festivities.

The Dussehra celebrations will feature several notable film personalities and top political leaders.

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan, director Rohit Shetty, and actress Kareena Kapoor will also be among the high-profile guests witnessing the symbolic Ravana Dahan at the historic Red Fort.

Political dignitaries such as former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, are likely to attend the event, adding to the celebratory spirit.

The inclusion of prominent figures from both the political and entertainment spheres underscores the unifying power of these festivals.
