The festival of Dussera is around the corner, and secretly the city prepares for it months in advance. Our special festival walk takes you to meet the Raavans of Titarpur in West Delhi, a neighbourhood which harbours the seasonal industry of Raavan effigy making every year.
In anticipation of the big day when these effigies symbolising evil will be burnt all over the city, we will explore this peculiar art practice and its processes. Discover how these Raavans are made, chat with the famed Raavan makers of the locality, uncover mythologies, and discover new aspects of the Raavan villain. Fall in love with RAAVAN! and celebrate this priceless intangible heritage of the city of Delhi with #1100walks.
