Ravan’s death is mourned in UP’s Bisrakh village, Dussehra is not a festival

The villagers of Bisrakh don’t burn effigies of Ravana, rather they conduct rituals to pray for his soul.. Bisrakh, a village in Uttar Pradesh, located just 40 kilometres from Delhi, considers itself to be Ravana’s birthplace, with villagers counting themselves as his descendants.

While the rest of the country derives joy from burning effigies of Kumbhakaran,Ravan and his son Meghnath, the villagers of Bisrakh mourn Ravan’s loss and conduct prayer rituals for his soul, reported Times Now.

The villagers of Bisrakh believe that Ravan deserved to be revered for his knowledge and devout faith in Lord Shiva rather than villainised. At the same time, they still pray to Lord Ram, as he is a god.

In one of the many deviating rituals in the village, people do not Ramlila celebrations for fear of inviting bad luck. During Dussehra they offer prayers in the Bisrakh Ravana Mandir.The temple, according to local belief, carries the same Shiva Linga which was once worshipped by Ravana and his father, the sage Vishravas.

In fact, the name of the village is believed to be derived from the word “Vishravas”, reported Times Now. The people of the village have even raised money to build a new temple dedicated to Ravan.

Ravan, as per Hindu mythology was the king of Lanka, and was very learned and powerful. In different iterations of the Ramayana text, he is portrayed as the antagonist in the god Ram’s story but is also considered to be representative of several communities in India.

There are temples dedicated to Ravan in Kanpur, the Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh, Mandya district of Karnataka and many other places as well. In a country as diverse as India, even celebrations such as Dussehra take on many different forms and variations. In Bisrakh village, located in Uttar Pradesh.

Dussehra is not merely a festival of victory and celebration; it is a time for somber reflection and mourning. The village, often associated with the death of Ravana, the demon king from the Hindu epic Ramayana, observes the day in a unique way. For the people of Bisrakh, this day commemorates the death of their own ancestor, Ravana, making it a deeply emotional occasion.

Rather than indulging in grand celebrations, the villagers gather in a subdued atmosphere, remembering Ravana’s legacy and the profound lessons from his life and death. For many in Bisrakh, Ravana is not just a villain but a historical and cultural figure tied to their heritage. His death is seen as a day of loss, not just of the character in the epic but of a part of their identity as well.

Unlike the usual Dussehra celebrations, where effigies of Ravana are burned as symbols of good triumphing over evil, Bisrakh refrains from such practices. Instead, the focus is on prayers, rituals, and maintaining a sense of respect for their forefather. This unique observation of Dussehra speaks to the complexity of cultural memory and regional differences in the way festivals are celebrated in India.
