Dussehra 2023: India is immersed in the grand festivities of the longest nine-day Hindu festival of Navratri. The Navratri that usually falls in the month of September or October is known as Shardiya Navratri. This year, Shardiya Navratri began on October 13 and will culminate with Maha Navami on October 23. The day after the Navami tithi of Navratri will be celebrated as Dashami, Dussehra or Vijayadashmi on October 24, 2023.
Dussehra is a significant Indian festival that marks the victory of good over evil and marks the culmination of nine-day Navratri and Durga Puja festivities in the country. Vijayadashami marks the victory of Lord Rama over ten-faced Ravana to free his wife Goddess Sita from Ravana’s captivity. On Dussehra, huge effigies of Ravana, his son Meghnath, and brother Kumbkaran are burnt to signify that truth and good will always prevail over evil.
