 The Complete Story of Dussehra: A Festival of Victory and Celebration in India

Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is one of the most significant festivals celebrated across India. It marks the victory of good over evil, symbolized by Lord Rama's defeat of the demon king Ravana, and the triumph of Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura. The festival usually falls in the months of September or October and is observed on the tenth day of the Hindu lunar month of Ashwin, following nine days of Navratri.

The Legend of Dussehra

The story of Dussehra is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. According to the Ramayana, Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu, waged a war against Ravana, the ten-headed demon king of Lanka, who had abducted his wife, Sita. With the support of his loyal brother Lakshmana, the monkey god Hanuman, and an army of monkeys, Lord Rama fought Ravana for ten days. On the tenth day, Rama successfully killed Ravana, symbolizing the victory of dharma (righteousness) over adharma (evil).

In another tale, Dussehra celebrates the triumph of Goddess Durga over Mahishasura. The fierce battle between the goddess and the demon lasted nine days, and on the tenth day, Durga emerged victorious. This day is honored with grand processions, prayers, and the burning of effigies symbolizing evil.

Dussehra Traditions Across India

While Dussehra is celebrated with various regional nuances, the core essence of the festival remains the same—rejoicing the victory of good over evil.

• North India: The Ramlila, a dramatic re-enactment of the Ramayana, is performed in villages and cities. The highlight of Dussehra is the burning of gigantic effigies of Ravana, Meghnath, and Kumbhkaran, symbolizing the end of evil.

• West Bengal: In the eastern part of India, Dussehra marks the end of Durga Puja. Beautifully adorned idols of Goddess Durga are immersed in rivers or seas in a ritual called Visarjan, amidst chanting and dancing.

• South India: In Karnataka, the Mysore Dussehra is one of the most famous celebrations, where the Mysore Palace is illuminated, and cultural processions take place. In Tamil Nadu, it’s a time for the display of dolls, known as Bommai Golu.

• Western India: In Gujarat and Maharashtra, the festival is marked with enthusiastic garba and dandiya dances during Navratri, and on Dussehra day, people exchange Apta leaves, symbolizing gold.
