Dussehra 2022: Mumbaikars bring in the festival with dance, rituals and food

After two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, Mumbaikars brought in Dussehra with full festive fervour. They played dandiya and garba for the last nine days at various places in the city. These places were frequented by not only the young, but also the elderly who were also looking forward to the festival, as they spent time pandal hopping with friends and family. The festival is a culmination of the nine days and celebrates the triumph of good over evil. There are many different rituals performed to celebrate it around the country but one thing is common, the happiness that the communities have enjoyed after two years of the lockdown.
