Manisha Das
Believed to be the birthplace of Ravana, the village honors him as a Maha Brahman.
The local community honors Ravana as their son-in-law and refrains from burning his effigy, instead observing rituals that respect his legacy.
Residents do not participate in the effigy burning, viewing him as a symbol of devotion rather than evil.
In certain areas of Jodhpur, Ravana is worshipped daily. His marriage to Mandodari is celebrated, and instead of burning his effigy on Dussehra, locals mourn his death and honor him with prayers and offerings.
They believe he was misrepresented in the Ramayana and conduct prayers during their tribal festivals rather than participating in effigy burning.
This village features a temple dedicated to Ravana, where locals regard him with respect.
