Dussehra is not just a festival but a true reflection of India’s cultural and religious soul. This year, on October 2, 2025, the historic grounds of Delhi’s Red Fort will witness a grand moment when Bollywood actor Bobby Deol will take the stage at the Luv Kush Ramlila Committee and perform the symbolic Ravan Dahan.
The announcement has already doubled the excitement among fans and devotees, both offline and on social media. Let’s explore this grand celebration and its highlights in 10 major points.
Bobby Deol’s Grand Entry – A New Spark at Red Fort
The Luv Kush Ramlila Committee extended a special invitation to Bobby Deol, which he gladly accepted. In his video message, he said:
“Dilli ki Ramlila mein iss baar mai aa raha hoon… toh milte hain Dussehra par.”
This announcement filled fans and devotees with enthusiasm. After a long time, such a big Bollywood star will take part in this cultural celebration.
Symbolic Significance of Ravan Dahan
The biggest highlight of Dussehra is Ravan Dahan. Burning Ravana’s effigy is considered a symbol of victory of good over evil. Bobby Deol’s role in performing this tradition will not only carry religious importance but also inspire the younger generation, showing how popular icons stay connected to their culture.
Glory of Luv Kush Ramlila Committee
For decades, the Luv Kush Ramlila Committee has been organizing this grand Ramlila at Delhi’s Red Fort grounds. Every year, lakhs of people gather to witness it. Committee President Arjun Kumar said that Bobby Deol’s participation will make this year’s event more majestic and unforgettable.
Other Stars Joining the Celebration – Poonam Pandey and Manoj Tiwari
This year’s Ramlila will also feature other well-known names:
- Actress Poonam Pandey has been chosen to play Mandodari.
- BJP MP Manoj Tiwari is impressing the audience by playing the role of Parashuram.
This makes it clear that the celebration is going to be a perfect blend of faith, culture, and entertainment.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s (VHP) Perspective
Vinod Bansal, National Spokesperson of VHP, beautifully explained the importance of this celebration:
“Ramleela is not just an ordinary theatrical performance, it is a grand manifestation of people’s religious, social, and spiritual energy.”
With Bobby Deol joining this tradition, the event will leave an even deeper impact on the hearts of the audience.
Why Do We Celebrate Dussehra?
Dussehra symbolizes two great victories:
- Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana
- Goddess Durga’s triumph over Mahishasura
This day reminds us that no matter how powerful evil may seem, truth and righteousness always prevail. Dussehra is celebrated with grandeur across India and even in Nepal (known as Dashain) and other regions with different names.
