✔ Rabon Dah- According to Ramayana in Hindu mythology, the significance of burning the Ravana effigies on Dussehra in Bongaigaon as well as in India. The festival marks the triumph of sunshine over darkness. Ravan Dahan is the ritual of burning effigies of the demon king Ravana, his son Meghnath, and brother Kumbhakaran. The ritual is performed on the day of Dussehra or Vijayadashmi throughout the Country. The festivities are celebrated in specific methods throughout India. The Ravan Dahan celebrates the day while Lord Rama killed Ravana. The festival marks the celebration of sunshine over darkness.

The festival is celebrated with the conventional ardour, devotion, and exuberance through the human beings.

Ravan Dahan is an important a part of the festival because it represents symbolic imagery of darkness dropping to light.

Many locations even have a tradition of enacting the tale of Ramayana in a drama layout earlier than burning Ravana's effigy.

Every year, in this Immersion Ghat Ravana effigy is built. The effigy is 20-30 feet tall and required over almost 3 days to build. It takes 3 hours to finish the Ravana effigy.
