Bisrakh Jalalpur is a village near Kisan Chowk in Greater Noida (West), India. It is a part of Gautam Buddha Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh state. The locals claim their village to be birthplace of the legendary king Ravana, who rules Lanka in the epic Ramayana.During the Dussehara festival, which celebrates Rama's victory over Ravana, effigies of Ravana are burnt in several parts of India. However, in Bisrakh, the nine days of Navratra ending in Dassehara are observed as a period of mourning when they offer prayers for peace to the soul of Ravana and perform Yagna. Locals believe that if Ramlila were to be performed in the village, it would trigger the wrath of Ravana on the villagers.
