Ravan Dahan 2025: The festival of Dussehra is celebrated as a victory of truth over the victory and goodness of religion over unrighteousness. Every year this festival is celebrated on the Dashami date of the Shukla Paksha of Ashwin month. This year Dussehra is today on 2 October 2025.
Today, effigy of Ravana will be burnt everywhere. Burning the effigy of Ravana gives a message in the society that no matter how huge and strong the form of bad or unrighteousness, it is never known in front of the truth and its destruction is certain.
But the thing to note is that along with burning effigies of Ravana at the time of Ravana Dahan, the effigy of his son Meghnath and brother Kumbhakarna is also burnt. Ravana was a scholar, Shiva devotee and Mahapandit. But his biggest fault was that, he had taken the path of ego and iniquity. But why the effigy of Meghnath and Kumbhakarna is burnt on Dussehra. What was his fault? Let’s know-
Meghnath’s fault- Meghnath was the son of Ravana. He was also a mighty warrior who defeated the gods in the war many times. Meghnath is also called Indrajit. Because he also defeated Devraj Indra. The fault of Meghnath was that, he used his power for unrighteous and Annaya. Meghnath also participated in Ravana’s irreligious policies. Burning the effigy of Meghnath on Dussehra gives a message that the punishment is not only given to those who do unrighteousness but also to those who support unrighteousness and Annay.
Kumbhakarna’s defect- Like Ravana, his brother Kumbhakarna was also very powerful. Kumbhakarna had the boon of Brahma Ji that he used to wake up from sleep only 6 months in a year. However, Kumbhakarna did not agree with the acts of his brother Ravana. He also explained to Ravana many times that Sita should be freed. But when the time of war came, he took the side of Ravana and joined his army. Therefore, Kumbhakarna is also burnt with Ravana on Dussehra, which is the message that not supporting the truth is as big as the wrong.
