Uttar Pradesh: In a widely circulated Dussehra video, B.Tech students from the Institute of Technology and Management in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, can be seen using a cell phone to burn the effigy of Ravana. As a representation of the victory of good over evil, Indians celebrate Dussehra by burning the effigy of Ravana. Over the years, a variety of creative approaches have been employed to honour this tradition. Technology is steadily providing innovative methods to celebrate Dussehra, from lasers to immersive sound, but the approach chosen by the UP B.Tech students is unique.
In a video shared by ANI, one of the B.Tech students can be seen using a smartphone to set fire on a few feet tall Ravana effigy. The professors are also seen guiding the students in the viral video. Although the students are using mobile phone to trigger the blast in the effigy, the setup is not completely wireless. You can watch the viral video below.
