Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is a Hindu festival celebrated to mark the victory of good over evil. Lord Ram killed Ravana on the tenth day that is Dussehra. Ravana is said to have abducted Ram’s wife, Sita and was also known as a dictating ruler. The end of Ravana meant end of bad and evil spirit as he was a demon by birth too. Dussehra coincides with the culmination of the nine-day Navratri festival and with the tenth day of the Durga Puja festival in different ways across India.. For many, it marks the beginning of preparation for Diwali, which occurs 20 days after Dussehra |
