As Jaipur gets ready for Dussehra, around 20 Muslim artisans from Mathura are busy preparing a 105-foot-tall effigy of Ravana, continuing a family tradition that has been passed down through five generations.

The artisans have been coming to Jaipur every year to make the effigy, which will be set on fire during the city's Dussehra celebrations in Adarsh Nagar. The team arrived nearly two months before the festival to begin work on the large structure.
