What Is The Importance Of Dussehra

The festivities are at their peak with the October and November months approaching soon! All preparations have begun and the festive mood has already set in. The country celebrates Vijayadashami or Dussehra with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm. To celebrate Dussehra in full force and joy, it is important to understand its significance of Dussehra.

Dussehra, or Vijayadashami as it is commonly known, has a unique significance. Although people celebrate the festival differently, the meaning is the same. Dussehra is a celebration that commemorates the victory of Good over Evil. Publicly burning large effigies, Meghnad, Ravana and Kumbhakarana is a common activity. People also enjoy watching Ram Leela. This story confirms the reasons for celebrating Dussehra: Lord Rama fought Ravana over ten days after he abducted Goddess Sita. It is believed that Lord Rama killed Ravana on the tenth day or the day of Dussehra. This is a sign of the power of goodness and humanity being above all. This motto is believed to mean that God will save us from any evil deeds.

Puranas state that Goddess Durga killed Mahishasura, a buffalo demon, on this day. Over the course of the nine days, she is prayed in each of her 9 forms. In the Eastern part, Vijayadashami is the most popular celebration of her victory. Durga Visarjan precedes those 9 days. Each Indian state has its own celebrations. As mentioned above, the North Indians celebrate this festival with the lighting of effigies and a skit reciting the festival's story by different artists. It is a time for West Bengalis to shop endlessly for gifts in Dussehra. They also enjoy dhunuchi dancing and pandal hopping, as well as enjoying maa's bog.

It's a little carnival that celebrates the triumph of truth over evil. People in the West, especially Gujarat, celebrate this festival with great enthusiasm by dancing to Garba or Dandiya tunes. Gujaratis are known to prepare themselves by getting their sticks and Chaniya Choli ready. People spend the night dancing to Bollywood songs or traditional devotional songs. Many shows and competitions are held in honor of the festival. Three different goddesses, Lakhmi (deity of wealth and strength), are worshipped in South India. One blessing us with wealth, while the other blesses with knowledge, and Durga Maa, which blesses each of us with strength and power to win our struggle, finally blesses each of us with both wealth and knowledge. You can witness the celebration in South India by visiting Mysore during this period of the year.

It is a Hindu festival but India is a land full of festivals that allow people to forget about their castes, creeds and other features in order to celebrate brotherhood. Dussehra is a festival that should be enjoyed once in a life time to feel the festive excitement.
