Kullu Valley is perhaps the most a beautiful part of Himachal Pradesh. I spent my childhood in Manali and later worked in the local mission hospital for a few years. It is here that I decided to peruse my career in public health for the first time. Last time I was there in October 2012 and revisited the famous Dussehra festivities in Kullu.

Kullu Dussehra is the renowned International Mega Dussehra festival observed in the month of October in Himachal Pradesh state in northern India. Wherein more than 100 to 150 thousand people visits the fair from all across the Globe. It is celebrated in the Dhalpur maidan in Kullu. Dussehra at Kullu commences on the tenth day of the rising moon, i.e. on 'Vijay Dashmi' day itself and continues for seven days. Its history dates back to the 17th century when local King Jagat Singh installed an idol of Raghunath on his throne as a mark of penance. After this, god Raghunath was declared as the ruling deity of the Valley. The State government has accorded the status of International festival to the Kullu Dussehra, which attracts tourists in large numbers. (Wikipedia)
Here are a few glimpse of that in October 2012:
