Raavan Dehen Experience –
This Dussehra (2nd Oct 2025), myself along with my 3 friends – Arun Aroon Naik, Sonal Sonal Chaturvedi & Datta Dattatraya Nanaware – decided to witness the Raavan Dehen in PCMC. As we all know, it’s customary to burn the effigy of Raavan on Dussehra, marking the victory of Good over Evil 
We first headed to Pimple Saudagar (Govind Yashada Chowk) around 8 pm. The crowd was massive and the event was organized by a local politician (since elections are near, it had become a marketing hotspot too 
). There were singers, dancers and even a small stage act of Ramleela 
.
But since the Dehen was taking too long, our foodie hearts craved some snacks 
– so we left for a quick round of pani puri & other local delicacies before moving on.
Then Datta told us about Pimpri (Nav Maharashtra Vidyalaya Ground) where not one but three effigies – Raavan, his brother Kumbhakaran & son Meghanath – were to be burnt . Our curiosity took us there and… wow! The ground was massive, the crowd even bigger. DJs, anchors, music, lights, shouting & hooting – total carnival vibes 
Of course, politicians were taking centre stage as well (election season 
). After a long wait, at 11:15 pm the much-anticipated Raavan Dehen finally happened. Crackers & fireworks filled the effigies (I’ll skip the air/noise pollution part here 
). One by one, all three effigies went up in flames – a truly grand spectacle 
This was my first time witnessing Raavan Dehen in person. While it has turned into a bit of a political stint these days, the core message still stands strong – Good must always prevail over Evil
