Kullu Dussehra is unlike Dussehra anywhere else — it begins when celebrations end elsewhere, no effigy burns, and the valley’s devtas come to Dhalpur maidan in procession.
Three questions for this thread:
- Have you attended before? What was it actually like — the rath yatra, the devtas arriving, the nights?
- Planning to go in 2026? We’ll share confirmed dates here once they’re announced.
- If you grew up in Kullu — what does the festival week feel like from the inside, beyond what visitors see?
First-hand accounts especially welcome. Photos too, if they’re yours.
