Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, marks the conclusion of the Navratri festival and is celebrated with various traditions and rituals. The festival symbolizes the triumph of good over evil, drawing its significance from the epic Ramayana. It commemorates Lord Rama’s victory over the demon king Ravana, who had abducted his wife, Sita. Rama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, defeats Ravana, signifying the triumph of righteousness.
During Dussehra, people immerse clay idols of deities like Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ganesha, and Kartikeya in water bodies, accompanied by music and chants, symbolizing their departure. In many places, effigies of Ravana are burned with fireworks, representing the destruction of evil.
The festival also sets the stage for Diwali, celebrated 20 days after Vijayadashami. Dussehra is a reminder that good ultimately prevails over evil, with wishes and prayers for a prosperous and happy future.
