Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut to become first woman to perform Ravana Dahanam at Love Kush Ramlila in Delhi’s Red Fort as part of Dussehra celebrations
This is the first time in the 50-year history of the Ramlila ceremony that a woman has performed the Ravana Dahanam. It is a ceremony in which the archer symbolically sets fire to the huge Ravanakolam prepared in the field.
Ravana Dahanam, the main ritual of Dussehra celebrations in North India, is performed as a symbol of the victory of good over evil. Kangana herself shared the rare achievement of her life through Instagram.
For the first time in the 50-year history of the Love Kush Ramlila held every year at the Red Fort, a woman is going to burn the effigy of Ravana, Jai Shriram, Kangana wrote along with the video.
Delhi’s Love Kush Ramlila Committee president Arjun Singh told PTI that the decision was in support of the Women’s Reservation Bill passed by Parliament in September.
Be it a movie star or a politician, every year we have a VIP at our event. Former President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have attended in the past.
Film stars Ajay Devgan and John Abraham have come here. Last year actor Prabhas did Ravana Dahanam. It is the first time in 50 years of our program that a woman is performing the cremation. Arjun Singh said.
Today, women’s participation in all spheres of life is increasing, but there is still a long way to go. The bill will help in the development of the country and society…
Now, a woman can burn Ravana’s effigy and she can also end evil. Women should also be given this right. “That’s why we chose Kangana for it,” he said.
