The festival marked by the burning of effigies in various cultures worldwide is known as the Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night. Celebrated mainly in England, this event commemorates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, where Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the House of Lords. Communities gather to ignite bonfires and burn effigies of Fawkes, celebrating political freedom. Other cultures, such as the Hindu festival of Dussehra, also involve the burning of effigies symbolizing the victory of good over evil, showcasing the universality of this ritual across different traditions.
