Answer 2

There are various important festivals celebrated by Hindus and Dusshera is one of the festivals, celebrated across India and abroad too where Hindus live. Though the literal meaning of Dussehra is the ‘tenth day’ and it is celebrated on the tenth day in the month of ‘Ashwin’ (Hindu calendar), but the festive spirit begins much before the actual day. It is celebrated as Navaratri’ in various parts of India.

Significance

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Rama had worshiped mother Durga to seek his blessings before attacking Ravana and rescuing his beloved wife Sita. This is why, Dussehra holds two significances; it is celebrated as Durga Puja primarily in the eastern and north-eastern parts of India or at places where Bengalis reside. In central and north India, people celebrate Dussehra by burning the dummies of Ravana, Kumbhakarana and Meghnatha. Thus, on the tenth day, Navratri concludes as Dusshera, signifying the victory of good over evil.

Dussehra is celebrated as the day of victory all over the world; it’s a day when Lord Rama killed Ravana and a day when mother Durga killed the demon Mahishasura. The spirit or essence of the festival lies in its message i.e. to overcome all obstacles and emerge victorious with the help of steadfast attitude and power of perseverance.

War between Lord Rama and Ravana

It is believed that the festival Dussehra signifies the legendary victory of Lord Rama over the ten-headed Ravana. As per the Hindu mythology, before attacking Ravana, Lord Rama worshipped mother Durga to get her blessings. He prayed and observed fast for nine days; this is why it is also called ‘Navaratri’ at several places and people also observe fast for nine days. On the tenth day, Lord Rama defeated Ravana and rescued Sita, his abducted wife.

Celebrations

Dusshera is celebrated with great zeal in central and north regions of India; large effigies of devil Ranava, Kumbhakarana and Meghnath are put up in large fields and burnt with fireworks. Ramlila in the form of short stories from the sacred book called ‘Ramayana’ are enacted on stage. Enthralling fairs are organized with various interesting highlights, such as puppet shows, rides, food stalls, etc. People meet each other, exchange gifts, children enjoy the rides; the entire ground becomes a sight of fun and enjoyment during those 10 days and especially on the day of Dussehra, i.e. the 10th day.

Conclusion

Thus, Dussehra symbolizes a great traditional and spiritual importance and it is one of the most integral festivals for Hindus. The festival unites people from different backgrounds and so the flame for Dussehra must continue to burn for years and years to come.
