Kullu royal family heirs in full royal attire and regalia: Kullu Dussehra

A procession of revellers from across Himachal Pradesh converge at the Kullu maidan, for the Kullu Dussehra festivities to begin. Some people carry the palanquins of the gods, others get into a trance as they help, and a range of indigenous Himachali musical instruments is played as accompaniment. Drums, a thonkru (large brass or other metal) local Himachali instrument, pipes, trumpet like instruments and an unusual S-shaped instrument are on display. The procession moves from the pagoda like temple at Dhumri and awaits the arrival of the goddess of Hadimba before which the festivities cannot begin. Hadimba arrives in a tighly packed procession and gets moved along with the flow of the crowds.
The Kullu royal family's descendents are in full force, in their royal regalia, attire and jewellery.
Nothing demonstrates this relationship better than the festival of Dussehra. Ostensibly Dussehra commemorates the victory of Rama over Ravana, a triumph of good over evil. This enactment from the epic Ramayana is celebrated all over India but it is here in Kullu that the celebrations have their own significance.
The festival becomes a great gathering of the Gods from the temples all around the valley these Gods come to pay homage to Raghunathji, the presiding deity of Kullu with the blowing of trumpets and the beating of drums, they come from different directions.
The priests and dependents of the royal family of Kullu await their turn to pay obeisance.
