The Rath Yatra of the idol of Lord Ragunath is led by the Kullu Raja and village deities, and is known as the running of the Gods. The procession starts a week of religious ceremonies, cultural activities, socializing and shopping at the huge bazaar, or market, that comprises most of the mela ground. Dussehra at Kullu commences on the tenth day of the rising moon, i.e. on Vijay Dashmi day itself and continues in seven days.

Numerous stalls offer a verity of local wares. This is also the time when the International Folk Festival is celebrated.
