Family making Ravana effigies in UP's Rampur faces hardship due to decline in orders

Last Updated 14 October 2021, 09:41 IST

A Muslim family in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh that has been making Ravana effigies for generations is now facing financial problems due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Though Covid-19 restrictions have been relaxed, the number of orders are still low. “We have had very few orders during the past two years. We received almost negligible orders last year, and this year we have got orders only for small effigies. The Dussehra organising committees have asked us to prepare small effigies this year," said Manzoor Khan, an effigy maker.
