How did the celebrates dusserha

Answer 1

Dussehra or Vijayadashami is one of the biggest Hindu festivals and is celebrated in different parts of India with equal zest. After nine days of Navratri, this festival is celebrated and is followed by Diwali which falls 20 days after Dasara. The significance of this festival are many but the prevailing story is of the triumph of good over evil. The word is derived from Sanskrit and defines victory. So, while people seek Durga’s blessings during the nine days of Navratri, they celebrate her victory on the last day which is Dasara. It is believed that the goddess fought the demon Mahishasura for nine nights and ten days before emerging victorious.
