Discover the extraordinary cultural heritage of Bastar Dussehra, one of India’s most unique and remarkable festivals. Celebrated over 75 days in Chhattisgarh, this centuries-old tribal festival stands apart from the traditional Dussehra celebrations across India. Here, the focus is not on burning Ravana’s effigy, but on deep-rooted tribal traditions, devotion to local deities, magnificent wooden chariots, and the collective spirit of the Bastar community. This documentary takes you into the heart of Bastar to explore the rituals, stories, people, and living traditions that make this festival a remarkable expression of India’s cultural diversity. #BastarDussehra #Bastar #Chhattisgarh Anchor & Producer: Nav Vikram Singh Video Editor: Bikas Chandra Camera Person: Nilesh Pande & Manoj Kumar Camera Assistant: Hari Prasad Watch the other videos on our playlist:    • SansadTV Special Programmes   Sansad Television is the Parliamentary channel of India.
