Vijayadashami also known as Dussehra, Dasara or Dashain is
a major Hindu festival
celebrated at the end of Navaratri every year. It is observed on the tenth day in
the Hindu calendar month of Ashvin or Kartik, the sixth and seventh month
of the Hindu Luni-Solar Calendar respectively,
which typically falls in the Gregorian months of September and October
Vijayadashami
is observed for different reasons and celebrated differently in various parts
of the Indian subcontinent. In the southern,
eastern, north-eastern, and some northern states of India, Vijayadashami marks
the end of Durga Puja, remembering goddess Durga's victory over the
buffalo demon Mahishasura to restore and protect dharma.
In the northern, central and western states, the festival is synonymously
called Dussehra also spelled Dasara, Dashahara. In these regions, it marks the
end of Ramlila
and remembers god Rama's
victory over the Ravan, a significant example of victory of good (Dharma) over
evil - Adharma. Alternatively, it marks a reverence of goddess Durga
Vijayadashami
celebrations include processions to a river or ocean front that involve
carrying clay statues of Devi with music and chants, after which the images are
immersed in the water for dissolution and farewell. Elsewhere, on Dasara,
towering effigies of Ravan, symbolising evil, are burnt with fireworks, marking
evil's destruction. The festival also starts the preparations for Diwali,
the important festival of lights, which is celebrated twenty days after
Vijayadashami.
