The Kashmir Valley has a rich cultural and historical heritage, and the Dussehra Mahotsav aims to promote and preserve this heritage. Last year, the Punit Balan Group and the Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Samiti began organizing this festival, making it the only public Vijayadashami celebration in Kashmir.
The burning of the effigies of Ravana, Meghnath, and Kumbhkarn symbolizes the victory of good over evil, a message that resonates deeply with the local community. This year, the event attracted people from all walks of life, including government servants, who gathered in large numbers to witness the festival. The effigy-burning has become a symbol of the shared cultural heritage between Kashmiri Pandits and Muslims, reinforcing the idea of unity in diversity and spreading a message of communal harmony.
The Punit Balan Group, led by young entrepreneur Punit Balan, has been a key sponsor of the event for the second year in a row. Punit Balan's commitment to social responsibility has significantly contributed to the success of the Dussehra Mahotsav. The Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Samiti expressed their gratitude to Punit Balan, acknowledging that the construction of the huge effigies and the smooth execution of the program were possible due to his support.
In an interview with a local publication, Punit Balan, President of the Punit Balan Group, said, 'Vijayadashami symbolizes the triumph of good over evil, truth over untruth, and morality over injustice. The Dussehra Festival has been initiated in the Kashmir Valley to promote communal harmony and to boost cultural heritage. Local citizens responded overwhelmingly to the festival. I thank the Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Samiti and all others for their support and participation.'
