The craftsmen, who come in large numbers from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, create about 5,000 effigies.
North West Delhi's Najafgarh Road is lined up with bamboo frames of the effigies of demon king Ravana, Kumbhkaran and Meghnad, waiting to be dressed up with colourful paper.
The craftsmen, who come in large numbers from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, create about 5,000 effigies. These effigies will be transported to the Ramlila venues in Delhi and surrounding areas to be burned on Dussehra.
Dussehra symbolises the triumph of good over evil and is alternatively referred to as Dasara, Dashain, and Navratri Puja in different regions. It is going to be celebrated across the country on October 24 this year.
The ban on firecrackers has not affected the effigy market as craftsmen do not put crackers in the effigies.
