Dussehra is celebrated all over India to mark the homecoming of Lord Rama.  This festival is celebrated as a triumph of the good over the evil.  This festival is celebrated for nine consecutive days in praise of Lord Rma and his victory over the demon Ravana.  During these nine days, the Ramlila, an enactment is made on the various episodes of the life of Lord Rama and there is continuous chanting from the great epic Ramayana.  On the tenth day, the Lord Rama killed the demon Ravana, the abductor of his beloved Sita.  On Dussehra, larger than life effigies of Ravana, his brothers Meghnath and Kumbhkarna filled with different fire crackers are set alight to celebrate the victory of good over evil.
