Durga triumphing over Mahishasura.According to Hindu mythology, Ravana, the king of Lanka, abducted Sita, Lord Rama’s wife, while they were in exile for 14 years.

Instead of burning Ravana’s effigies, local deities are carried in a grand procession through the town.

On the final day, a bonfire of dry branches represents the burning of Lanka, recalling the story where Hanuman sets the island ablaze with his tail.
