Dussehra or Dussera is one of the main festivals of Hindus
and celebrated all over the country. The festival is known by another name
Vijayadashmi, which means victory on the tenth day. 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 most
popular reason for celebrating is that on this particular day Lord Rama killed
the demon Ravana for abducting his wife Seeta. One of the oldest Indian festivals, Dussehra is
celebrated across India
and has an ancient origin that is steeped in a number of old legends.
Significance of Dussehra :
Dussehra signifies the triumph of Good over Evil and it is
also considered to be an auspicious day to begin new things in life. In the
Northern part of India ,
Dussehra commemorates the victory of Lord Rama, over Ravana, the ruler of
Lanka, who according to the mythological Ramayana had abducted Sita, the wife
of Rama. However, in the Southern, Eastern and Western
India , the festival is celebrated as Navaratri, which ends with
Vijayadashmi. Here the same festival commemorates the legend in which the
Goddess Durga vanquishes the demon Mahishasura.
