Answer:

Dussehra is a ten-day long Hindu festival that is celebrated at the end of Navratri every year. This year Dussehra will be celebrated on Saturday, September 30, 2017. Dussehra is celebrated on the tenth day of the Hindu month of Ashvin which usually corresponds to September or October in the popular Gregorian calendar. Dussehra is one of the major festivals of India and is celebrated throughout the length and breadth of the country. Dussehra or Dusshera is celebrated to mark Lord Rama s victory over the demon Ravana that signifies the triumph of good over evil. On Dussehra, huge effigies of Ravana are burnt with fireworks which symbolize the quelling of darkness by light. Dussehra also paves the way for the next big festival of Diwali (the festival of lights) which is celebrated across India with great pomp and fervour. Diwali is celebrated twenty days after Dussehra and signifies the return of Lord Rama, Sita and Lakshman to Ayodhya after killing the demon Ravana.

The word Dussehra signifies the meaning of the festival itself. The word is formed from two words Dus and Ahara. Dus means ten and Ahara means day, so tenth day. Another meaning comes from the mythology of the festival where Dus signifies the ten heads of Ravana or bad or evil and hara means to defeat or removal. In the northern and western states of India Dussehra is celebrated in the honour of Lord Rama who was an avatar of Lord Vishnu. Plays based on Ramayana and Ramcharitmanas called Ramlila are performed at outdoor fairs by theatre troupes. Dussehra is also celebrated as Vijayadashami and also signifies the killing of demon Mahishasura by Goddess Durga on the tenth day of Navratri.
