Kulasai Dussehra, celebrated in Kulasekarapattinam, Tamil Nadu, is one of South India’s most unique and vibrant festivals. Unlike the traditional Dussehra festivities across India, which often center on Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana, Kulasai Dussehra is marked by grand processions and intense devotion to Goddess Mutharamman.

Thousands of devotees dress in various forms of gods, goddesses, and mythical figures, bringing alive the region’s deep-rooted cultural and religious traditions. Sharing the significance of this festival is important because it showcases the diverse ways Dussehra is celebrated across India. It represents the triumph of good over evil while highlighting local traditions, beliefs, and artistic expressions.
