Rain ruined Kota Dussehra, which is famous for having one of India’s tallest Ravana effigies, preventing it from burning completely.

Kota Dussehra Mela: During the Dussehra fair in Kota, Rajasthan, an elephant bearing Lord Laxminarayan’s idol tragically lost control, resulting in panic. People scrambled for safety as the elephant surged towards the throng in spite of the mahout’s efforts.

While some fell in the confusion, others leaped over obstacles. An electric pole was knocked down by the elephant, but thankfully no one was crushed. If there had been people crushed beneath its feet, the tragedy might have been catastrophic.
