Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is a Hindu festival that commemorates the victory of good over evil and righteousness over injustice. Celebrated on the tenth day of the Hindu month of Ashwin, the festival marks Lord Rama’s triumph over the demon king Ravana and Goddess Durga’s victory over Mahishasura. The festival is observed in various ways across India, from Ramlila performances and the burning of Ravana’s effigies in the north, to the grand Mysuru Dasara procession in Karnataka and the conclusion of Durga Puja in West Bengal.

The festival symbolizes the importance of courage, truth, and new beginnings, and is a time to share wishes, quotes, and messages with friends and family.
