International Kullu Dussehra 2026 will be celebrated from October 21 to 27 at Dhalpur Maidan in Himachal Pradesh, beginning a day after Vijayadashami. The week-long festival features Lord Raghunath’s Rath Yatra, a gathering of hundreds of village deities, traditional Himachali music and Nati folk dances. Its traditions trace their origins to the 17th-century reign of Raja Jagat Singh.
