210-feet tall Ravana effigy to go up in flames this Dussehra

The Sri Ramlila Club of Barara town, famous for its record-breaking Ravana effigies, has come up with a 210-feet tall effigy of the demon King this Dussehra.
The 210-feet tall effigy of Ravana will go up in flames in Barara on the occasion of Dussehra festival on October 11, club owner Tanveer Jafari said.
The club has been raising the height of Ravana effigies since the past several years and has entered the Limca Book of World Records five times, he said.
Adding more feathers to their cap, Jafari said the effigy was prepared by Muslim workers from Uttar Pradesh.

"Paper, iron pipes, bamboos brought from Assam and clothes weighing over 5,000 kg have been used to prepare the Ravana effigy this time. The sword held by Ravana is around 50 feet in length," he said.
The club owner said eco-friendly firecrackers were used in the effigy.
Tajinder Singh Rana, president of Sri Ramlila Club, said a five-day cultural function will be organised in the run up to the Dussehra festival.
