The 75-day Dussehra celebration, the world's longest, began on Sunday in Chhattisgarh's Bastar district with adherence to a 600-year-old ritual.
According to the 600-year-old ritual, it is believed that the goddess 'Kachhin' grants permission to the 'Raj Parivar' of the Bastar district to celebrate Dussehra, and hence the festivities begin.
