Dussehra or Vijayadashmi is the famous Hindu festival in across the India and falls under the month of October. As per the great Hindu mythology, Dussehra is the auspicious day as Lord Rama killed Ravana and had won the Lanka. It is said that Ravana, a cruel and dictating ruler had kidnapped Sita, Ram’s wife.
Dussehra, a South Indian term for Vijayadashami, derived from the Sanskrit Dasha-hara which means "remover of bad fate", is among the most important festivals celebrated in India. Other regional spellings include Dashera, Dussera and Dussehra in North India.
The festival of Dussehra has been considered to symbolise the celebration of good over evil while marking the Hindu god Rama’s victory over the demon king Ravan to rescue his abducted wife Sita.
It is celebrated by millions of citizens across the country, which is also called as Dasara or Dashain in different places. Large outdoor fairs and melas are held with huge display of effigies of Ravana (the mythical king of ancient Sri Lanka) on the day. The effigies are later burnt on bonfires, while the crowd burst into cheers.
