Happy Dussehra 2022
Dussehra, also called Vijayadashami, is an important festival of Hindus. The festival symbolises the victory of good over evil. It marks the triumph of Lord Rama over the ten-headed demon Ravana, who abducted Rama’s wife Sita. Dussehra is celebrated on the tenth day of the Hindu calendar month Ashvina. Dussehra also coincides with the culmination of the nine-day Navratri festival and with the tenth day of the Durga Puja festival.
Demon king Mahishasura and Ravana were killed by Goddess Durga and Ram to remind people that truth prevails on earth. This year, Dussehra will be celebrated on 5 October across the country. It will conclude the Navratri festival that began on 26 September.
Every year on Vijayadashami, devotees celebrate the day by burning the effigies of Ravana, while on the other hand, devotees of Goddess Durga bid adieu to her by immersing the idol in a water body. They do this hoping for her to come back again next year.
