The term Dussehra is more common in North Indian states and Karnataka while the term Vijayadashami is more popular in West Bengal. It is that time of the year when the famous Ramlila is enacted, magnificent fairs are organized, people throng in huge numbers to see Ravan effigies go up in flames and the smell of traditional desserts and delicacies is in the air as Hindu devotees gear up to celebrate the festival of Dussehra. It falls on the tenth day of Sharada Navratri but the celebrations and cultural practices differ with different regions of culturally diverse India yet amazingly, the essence of the festival remains. Here's all you need to know about whether Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, will be celebrated on October 4 or 5 this year, the history and significance of the Hindu festival and puja muhurat along with celebration traditions.
Dussehra denotes the victory of good over evil and there are two stories that are associated with the festival in Hindu mythology. It is said that it was on this day that Durga defeated Mahishasura after a fierce battle lasting for more than nine days. As per another mythology, Dussehra is celebrated to mark the victory of Rama over the ten-headed demon king of Lanka, Ravana.
Navratri — the nine days of celebration of each form of Goddess Durga — culminates with Dussehra, the tenth day. It is also called Vijayadashami, the day of victory. While some associate it with the epic battle of Ramayana, others do so to commemorate Goddess Durga’s victory over the demon Mahishasura. Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami or Dasain in certain parts of our country, makes way for Diwali celebrations. One of the most important and widely celebrated festivals, the festival of lights or Diwali marks Rama’s homecoming after his victory against Ravana and is celebrated twenty days after Dussehra but the main ethos of Dussehra festival is that of good triumphing over evil and it is on this day that people pray for prosperity and good health.
