Panchkula, Oct. 9 -- Six years after a 221-ft Ravana effigy in Dhanas, Chandigarh, drew crowds from far and wide, Panchkula is set to recreate the spectacle with an effigy of the same height, to be set up at Shalimar Ground, Sector 5, this Dussehra. It will be the centrepiece of the 46th Dussehra celebrations organised by the Shri Mata Mansa Devi Charitable and Development Trust. Trust chairman Vishnu Goyal said this will be the city's tallest-ever Ravana. Last year, the Trust had set up a 180-ft effigy of the demon king. This year's effigy is expected to cost nearly Rs.40 lakh while the overall celebrations, including tents, artists, singers, stage, lighting and other arrangements, may take the final expenditure up to Rs.70 lakh. The giant Ravana will have a 25-ft-long and 10-ft-wide face, a crown measuring around 55 ft and a 50-ft-long sword. Its arms and legs will each be around 40 ft long, while the torso alone will measure nearly 90 ft. The structure is being built using iron pipes, with artists from Barara, Ambala, working on the effigy. The preparation takes nearly four months. Artwork, electrical work and the fitting of crackers are still under way. The organisers are also introducing a remote-controlled ignition system this year. Eco-friendly crackers will be used in the effigy and at the ground. Chief minister Nayab Singh Saini is expected to be the chief guest at the Dussehracelebrations. Meanwhile, the Adarsh Ramlila Dramatic Club, Sector 5, will be staging the Ramlila here from October 9 to 20....
