New Delhi, Sep 30 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Ram Nath Kovind, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu and former PM Manmohan Singh attended the Dusshera celebrations at New Delhi’s Red Fort ground on Saturday evening. All the dignitaries were seen enjoying the Ram Leela and also watched Ravana burnt to the ground. While addressing the people, PM Modi stated that festivals should not be a source of entertainment but they should also serve a purpose. Dussehra marks end of the nine-day long festive journey of Navratras. While the northern and southern parts of the country commemorates it as the day of Lord Ram’s victory over Ravana, the eastern part remembers the slaying of Mahisasura – the buffalo demon by Durga. Though each state adds its own flavour to Dussehra, its symbolism remains the same – the triumph of good over evil.
