In the nearly 400 years of the history of the world-famous weeklong Kullu Dussehra festivities, Narendra Modi became the first Prime Minister to pay obeisance to Kullu Valley's chief deity Lord Raghunath in the festivity that begin in this Himachal Pradesh hill town on Wednesday amidst the presence of nearly 300 deities.With the assembly of tens of thousands of devotees once again after a gap of two years of lockdown restrictions owing to the coronavirus pandemic, Lord Raghunath's chariot was wheeled out from the historical temple in Sultanpur here on the first day of Dussehra or Vijay Dashami, the day when the festivities end in the rest of the country.
