Today on the eve of Dussehra, we will take a look at all those actors who became popular after being part of Ramayana. Several other actors have acted as Lord Ram and Sita and they are still recognised for it like Arun Govil, Ashish Sharma, Gurmeet Choudhury, etc. Even back in the 90s, the shows were immensely popular and many actors became popular due to this show. On television for years mythological shows are being aired and the most popular was Ramayana. A lot of devotees perform the traditional ritual of 'Ravan Dahan', where they burn the effigy of Ravana to celebrate Lord Rama's victory.ĭussehra also signifies the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. It is one of the most widely observed festivals in India. As per the Hindu calendar, it is celebrated on the 10th day of Ashvin in the month of Kartik, which usually falls during September or October. The day marks Lord Ram’s victory over the evil King Ravana.
Today, the nation is celebrating Dussehra which brings the nine-day festivities of Durga Puja to a close.
