    Raavana statue

    I read an article in Times of India as 'inflation Killing Raavana slowly'. It states Lord Rama killed Ravana within no time at the time of Ramayana. But now in Kalyuga, on the the eve of Dusshera Inflation has caused the ravan dahan committees to make the Ravan statue height less due to rising price of the materials. Like last year the height of ravan was 60 ft tall and now this year it has been reduced to 40 ft excluding the fire crackers.

    I meant to say that inflation has already disturbed so many people and their lifestyle and now it has also started entering into cultures, traditions and festivals. So sad and disappointing.

    Re: Raavana statue

    Namaste,

    Indeed it is. One of my exciting childhood memories is to see the Raavan effigy go up in flames every year on Dussehera. Kids of today are going to miss out on seeing the supersized Raavan being burnt to ground.

    Pranam.
