Manchester, UK. 15th October, 2016. The 11th annual Dashehra Diwali Mela held in Albert Square. This hugely popular festival falls on the 10th day of the waxing moon during the Hindu month of Ashvin (around September or October). On this day, Lord Ram, the hero of the great Hindu epic, Ramayan, killed the 10-headed demon king Ravan, who had abducted Lord Ram’s wife, Sita. It is believed that Lord Ram’s brother Lakshman, along with an army of monkeys, fought a colossal battle that lasted 10 days. Lord Ram killed the evil Ravan on the 10th day.
