There is a village near Delhi that sticks out with its unique traditions amid the hectic celebrations that go along with Navratri and Dussehra throughout India. The Greater Noida community of Bisrakh declines to take part in the holiday of Dussehra, during which revelers triumphantly burn an effigy of the evil king Ravana. This Hamlet mourns the passing of Ravana because they regard him to be their own, a son, and a guardian in a country where burning Ravana's effigy is seen as the victory of good over evil.

While the rest of the country celebrates Lord Rama's symbolic triumph over the 10-headed demon king, the people of Bisrakh assemble for another reason. They perform a yagna, a sacred fire rite, to pray for Ravana's soul to achieve moksha, or release from the cycle of birth and death, rather than to condemn him. Because they think Ravana was a fervent follower of Lord Shiva, they have a special viewpoint on him; as a result, they view Bisrakh as honoring Ravana rather than demonizing him.

This is quite an interesting instance to know for sure wherein this village is going full devotional and honest in their intentions.

The local notion that attempting to burn his effigy has in the past caused enormous disaster to the community makes Bisrakh's perspective on Ravana even more intriguing. The villagers saw Ravana not as a representation of evil that has been conquered but rather as a representation of their son, guardian, and a follower of Lord Shiva; burning him will incur Shiva's wrath on the locals.

Due of this, the peasants abstain from the Ravan Dahan celebrations that are popular across India. The people of Bisrakh follow their own path, choosing to lament Ravana's passing and ask for the salvation of his soul.
