Sahyadri Park Society

For the last 16 years, the Sahyadri Park Society in Kondhwa has been conducting one of the biggest Ravan Dahan in all of Pune. Initiated by one of the residents of the society, the effigy is usually 15 feet tall and full of firecrackers and is decorated beautifully. At nightfall, the effigy is set alight and it goes up in a bright blaze and with the crackers inside it bursting the entire event looks stunning.
