One of the popular Hindu festivals, Dussehra is celebrated with great enthusiasm. Dussehra or Vijayadashmi is celebrated throughout the country and follows the nine day festival of Navrathri. Dussehra festival this year is on 6th October, 2011. The word "Dussehra" can also be interpreted as "Dasa-Hara", which stands for the cutting of the ten heads of Ravana by Lord Rama. The origin of Dussehra also has its roots in the Indian epic 'Ramayana'. It is widely held that the festival actually commemorates the killing of the great king of Lanka, Ravan, by Lord Rama. The most popular reason for celebrating is that on this particular day Lord Rama killed the demon Ravana for abducting his wife Seeta. It is for this reason Dussehra festival is celebrated. The word Dussehra itself evokes memories of tasty sweets, new clothes and a houseful of guests and gifts.
