About the Festival A Celebration Rooted in Tradition How it Started Indo-American Festivals (IAF) was formed by the late Mr. Mangal Gupta in the year 1999 with a few members. The purpose of forming the IAF was to celebrate the Dushahra festival. There were several organizations in the Tri-State that were celebrating Holi, Diwali, Janmashtami, and other festivals but none were celebrating Dushahra Festival. Mangal ji was planning to celebrate Dushahra for a long time and many hurdles were coming in the way because of the peculiarity of this festival as it consisted burning of a Ravan Effigy. Burning a 20-25 foot Ravan effigy in an open ground in the US is important as it creates a severe fire hazard and most towns do not permit burning that in their towns. 28 Years 10,000+ Visitors Free Entry & Parking
