History of Kullu Dussehra

Kullu Dussehra Festival is successfully being celebrated since the 17th century, which marks its beginning on Vijaya Dashami every year and stretches up to seven days, usually in the month of October. The local king named Jagat Singh put an idol of Lord Raghunath on his throne to mark as the deity of the Kullu kingdom. This began the Dussehra celebrations in Kullu.

Kullu Dussehra Celebration Place

It is celebrated in the Dhalpur maidan located in the town of Kullu in Himachal Pradesh. The ground is located near the District Court in Kullu. The first day of the huge festival is marked with the establishment of the statue of Lord Raghunath Ji on an artistically designed chariot. The royal carriage is then pulled with the help of ropes by the local people to the various sites across the region of Maidan.

Processions and Celebrations

The procession of Dussehra in Kullu portrays the rich cultures and traditional diversities merged into a beautiful stream of events, that decorates the streets of Kullu, Himachal Pradesh.

Rest of the seven days are celebrated with immense devotion and people take to worshipping the Almighty with garlands and offerings. Dussehra festival in Kullu is also embarked upon with innumerable events and programs in which individuals participate and showcase their much- appreciated talents. The onlookers are left awestruck with the rhythmic Aarti ceremony performed during the dusk and the majestic rhymes of the beating drums that tune well with folk music played by devout musicians.

    Food taste of Manaw Valley Resort was very dull. When asked for the same they replied "we serve dull food only". Not a good experience with the food there. Apart from that no other issues with our stay in any of the hotels. Cab driver was the best I have come across. He was friendly throughout..

    Krishna's 6 days trip to Kullu

    This was our was first trip-planning with Travel Triangle, and we got to connect with Ms Urmila - our travel agent from The Ideal Tours. She is very sincere in her approach and designed the itinerary nicely. Travel Triangle was also very much cooperative and kept their commitment. Our full trip w
    as awesome, we ( myself, my husband and our son) enjoyed a lot, We visited Amritsar, Dharamshala and Dalhousie. Visited the much awaited Golden temple and Wagha Border parade. Enjoyed the mesmerizing scenic beauty of nature , including the life-time experience of paragliding. The hotel room in Amritsar was congested and lacked in proper ventilation, though the staffs were very amicable. They served 3 bottles of free mineral water to us while we checked out, The hotels in Dharamshala and Dalhousie were very nice , with picturesque beauty and amicable stuffs. All thanks to our trip guide Sunakshi Sharma from Travel Triangle and our travel agent Ms Urmila. Our Driver Mr. Kanhaiya was cooperative and guided us throughout the trip. Our car was having some problem with the AC. When this problem was reported to Ms Urmila, she took this matter seriously and replaced the car at Dharamshala, which is much appreciated. They were always in touch with us during the trip. Kudos to the team. We would definitely recommend Travel Triangle - The Ideal Tours to our friends and relatives. Thank you. - Krishna Ghoshal

    Hotel booked in Dalhousie was an excellent hotel. Highly satisfied with the choice of hotel for Dalhousie. Unfortunately graph went down in Dharmashala and hotel of Amritsar was not at all good property. The property in Amritsar doesn't even have a door. There are just windows through which you get
    in. Not recommended at all. Dalhousie. khajar and Driver that you had arranged. Those were best parts of the trip. Driver became our family member ! He is one of the best drivers I have ever came across including the one I use daily for my office trips. God bless him !

    We had a trip plan for Dharamsala- Dalbousie-Amritsar. The stay was good in Dharamsala & Dalhousie but in Amritsar the hotel was horrible. The restaurant there was not clean and unhygienic. Water was dripping from AC. Rooms were not cleaned. In Dharamsala the restaurant was too good with excellent s
    ervice. Cab & driver was polite and good in behaviour. Travel agent had supported but good to much better. Some where there was a gap in communication. Overall the trip was good. The travel in Dalhousie & Dharamsala.
