Dussehra Festivities in Rajasthan: Fistfights and Unburnt Ravana

Dussehra celebrations in Rajasthan had some funny moments.

In Ajmer, a Ram Leela performance turned chaotic when the police tried to manage a big crowd, leading to a fistfight.

The actors playing the Ramayana characters got stuck in the crowd.

In another instance, the actor playing Ravan fell during his entry on an e-rickshaw.

In Kota, a giant effigy of Ravan couldn't be burned due to rain, disappointing the crowd, including important guests.

Eventually, officials burned it, then dismantled it.
