Dussehra, celebrated with great zeal and fervor, is a jubilant Hindu festival that signifies the victory of virtue over malevolence. It holds a place of eminence in the Hindu calendar, revered for its deep-rooted cultural and spiritual significance. This joyous occasion is observed in various states of India, each region attributing its own unique symbolism to the festival.
In many parts of India, Dussehra is celebrated to honor Lord Ram’s legendary conquest over the demon king, Ravana. The eastern, northeastern, and some northern states of India, on the other hand, embrace Vijayadashami as a testament to the victorious triumph of Goddess Durga over the formidable demon, Mahishasura.
The culmination of the nine-day Shardiya Navratri festival is upon us. With grandeur and grandiosity, this festivity is celebrated throughout the nation, making the anticipation for Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, all the more palpable.
As the day of festivity approaches, the effigies of Ravana are set ablaze in a symbolic gesture of the triumph of light over darkness. This act, beyond its religious connotations, unites communities in a cultural extravaganza.
Furthermore, various enactments of the epic tale of Ramayana, referred to as “Ramlila,” grace the celebrations, allowing people to relive the heroic saga.
