Its history dates back centuries, with roots in folk theatre, and it is especially associated with the northern regions like Uttar Pradesh. The festival culminates in the victory of good over evil with the burning of giant effigies of the demon king Ravana.

Rajhans Zion

I am unable to find any verifiable historical or cultural information about a place called “Rajhans Zion.” It is possible the name is misspelled, from a work of fiction, or a very localized/private establishment not widely documented. For an accurate summary, please verify the correct name of the place.

Someshwara Enclave

I am unable to find specific historical or cultural information about a place called “Someshwara Enclave.” It is likely a modern residential or commercial neighborhood named after the Someshwara Temple, a significant Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Without more specific details, its history would be tied to the recent urban development of the city where it is located.

SMC Bus Depot

I am unable to provide a specific historical summary for “SMC Bus Depot” as it is a common name for depots in various cities (e.g., associated with Seoul Metropolitan Government or other municipal corporations). Generally, such a depot serves as a major operational and maintenance hub for a city’s public bus network. Its history would typically be tied to the expansion and modernization of the local public transportation system.
