paragraph about Dushera
Answers
Answer:
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. Dussehra is celebrated as Dussehra honouring goddess Durga’s victory over the demon Mahishasur.
It is a Hindu festival celebrated in the memory of legendary mythological character Lord Rama defeating the so-called undefeatable evil soul called Ravan, who was also the king of Sri Lanka as per the legend. People celebrate this day by burning a huge demon-like structure made of wood and hay representing the demon, King Ravan. Another legend that the people of West Bengal believe is that the Goddess Maa Durga, who came to visit her father’s house on Earth, leaves after five days, i.e., on the day of Dashami or Dussehra. So everyone rejoices and tells her to come again next year while bidding Maa Durga a goodbye.
On this day, sweets are prepared and distributed, and relatives meet and exchange gifts and enjoy their time. The children are those who are most excited during any festivals as they are dressed in beautiful and new clothes, they get to meet their cousins and friends, are told the legend of Ramayana again, and are also taken to fairs where they buy toys and eat tasty food. With the adults’ busy schedules, they also look forward to the holiday of Dussehra when they finally get to relax and spend some quality time with their family.
