VADODARA, Oct 27: Following the tradition, the Bhartiya Sanskritik Samaj hosted its annual Ravan Dahan Mela at the Gujarat Refinery stadium this year too. P S Rao, Executive Director of Gujarat Refinery was the Chief Guest of the function. Scenes from the Ramayana were enacted by children on the occasion, providing a visual treat for the residents of the refinery township and nearby localities.

The Mela also provided an opportunity for the residents to organise a fun-fair which comprised stalls of snacks, cold-drinks, ice-cream and games. People of all religion, caste and age enjoyed the Mela as well as the fun-fair.

The couple later also posed for photographs along with the children who played the characters of Ram, Sita and Hanuman during the function. The Mela concluded with Raoigniting Ravan's effigy by an electrically remote-operated switch followed by a grand display of fireworks.
