Know the story of Tejendra Chauhan… tells himself the lover of Ravana, sacrificed all the ancestral land
Made an effigy for the first time in hobby in 1986, then a passion made Tejendra Chauhan, originally from Barara region, was counted among the landowners. In 1986, Ravana’s 20 feet high effigy was made in Barara in 1986 in hobby-shawk. People appreciated. Chauhan, who was felt on this, got tune on the head. The next year increased the height of the effigy. Bole-Evils are increasing in the world, then the effigy symbol of evil should also increase.
The cost of making effigies was borne by itself, all the capital is over,Land sold Tejendra Chauhan continued to increase the height of the effigy every year and the cost of making increased. Gradually, in the next 20 years, his own accumulated capital was over, but the ancestral 12 and a half acres of land was also sold. But along with the height of the effigy, the passion increased. One day it also came when more than 50 thousand people started arriving to see their effigies. Every hand clapped in appreciation, but Chauhan’s hands became empty.
Limca Book of Records recorded 5 times, 2 world records also In the years 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, he was named 5 times in the Limca Book of Records. In the ground of Barara, where the effigies were burnt, the place started falling short. When people took a selfie with effigy, Chauhan’s chest would be proudly tanned.

Accident in the race to take the bones of burning effigy It is only about Barara. As soon as the effigy was burnt, there was a competition among the people to save the wooden wood. Recalling the incident, Chauhan says that a rope that stopped the effigy was accidentally made out of the barricade made for protection. The effigy was still burning, in the midst of this, people started shaking the rope, causing the effigy suddenly fall…. On the same day, they understood that now the ground is getting smaller and the danger is big.
Then turned to Panchkula, the highest effigy in 2019 Chauhan moved towards Panchkula in 2018 with a lesson from the accident and tightly. Where some organizations invited him to make effigies. In 2018, he built Ravana 210 feet high in Panchkula. Then next year, Ravana was built 221 feet high in Dhanas, Chandigarh, which became the highest man -made man -made effigy in the world. This mannequin was prepared by 40 artisans in 6 months. It applied 70 quintals of iron structure and 3000 meters cloth. 4 to 5 lakh people arrived at Panchkula-Chandigarh to see the effigy.
Seeing the height of the effigy, PM Modi’s program had to be postponed In 2014, Tejendra Chauhan made Ravana 211 feet high at the ground of Dwarka Sector-10 in Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was to arrive at this program. Chauhan says that three days before the program, the Special Protection Group (SPG) team engaged in PM security arrived. He saw that the distance of the barricade was less. The distance between the stage and the effigy was just 175 feet. The PM’s program was canceled due to security reasons.
Former President reached Kovind, refused to press the remote button After the cancellation of the PM’s program, the Dussehra Committee called former President Ram Nath Kovind. The Kovind arrived with the family and the family was happy to see the effigy. When the turn came to press the remote button for the effigy burning, Kovind also refused. Chauhan says that if he gave a remote to the head of the Dussehra Committee, he also refused. After all, Chauhan pressed the remote button. This was the first time that the effigy made by itself burnt himself.
