reason of celebrating Dussehra
Answers
Answer:
While Dussehra is called by different names across India-- Durga Puja or Vijayadashami in the East and North-east, Dussehra in Northern and Western states-- the essence of the festival remains the same i.e. the Dharma (good) prevailing over Adharma (evil). Durga Puja or Vijayadashmi celebrates Maa Durga's victory over demon Mahishasura to protect darma. Whereas, the story behind Dussehra signifies Lord Rama's victory over Ravana. The day also marks the end of Ram lila-- a brief retelling of Rama, Sita and Laxman story. On Dussehra, towering effigies of demon King Ravana, Kumbhakaran and Meghanad (symbolic of evil) are burnt down with fireworks thus reminding onlookers that no matter what, Good always wins over Evil.It was on the same day that Arjuna annihilated the Kuru clan, including great warriors like Bhisma, Drona, Karna, Ashwathama, on his own in the battle of Kurushetra in the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
