Answers
Dussehra is a very famous festival for Hindus; it is also known as ‘Vijayadasami’. The occasion is celebrated every year at the end of Navratri in the month of Ashvin (Hindu calendar), basically in September or October Month according to the Gregorian calendar. We all know that India is the land of multicultural and multilingual people; thus the festivals here are celebrated in various ways in different parts of the country. In the north-eastern and eastern regions of India, Dussehra is celebrated as Dussehra honouring goddess Durga’s victory over the demon Mahishasur.
In southern, northern and western regions, Dussehra marks the end of Ramlila and honours lord Rama’s victory over the evil Ravana. Irrespective of the ways of celebration; the ultimate aim remains the same, i.e. to celebrate the victory of good over evil. It goes without saying that people wait for this occasion like anything as they get to buy new clothes, gather with family and friends to enjoy different mela organized in the open grounds and also to watch shows based on Ramlila.
nav means 9 and ratri means night. in Gujarat the navratri is the big festival. on this day ravan was killed by ram. therefore it is celebrated with great joy and as a symbol of victory of goodness over the evil.
