India is gearing up for a special celebration on October 24, 2023 – Dussehra, a significant and joyous festival that signifies the victory of good over evil. Here's a simple look at what Dussehra is all about:
The Story Behind Dussehra
Dussehra is a festival with deep roots in Hindu mythology. It marks the victory of Lord Rama, an avatar of Lord Vishnu, over the ten-headed demon king, Ravana. This epic battle happened a long time ago when Ravana kidnapped Rama's wife, Sita. The brave Rama, along with his loyal brother Lakshman and devoted Hanuman, set out on a mission to rescue her.
After praying to Goddess Durga for strength, Rama confronted Ravana and emerged victorious. This historic triumph is what Dussehra is all about.
Celebrations Across India
Dussehra isn't just a regular festival – it's a grand celebration of goodness winning over evil. People from all walks of life come together to mark this special day. The highlight of the day is the burning of huge effigies that represent Ravana. This symbolic act shows the removal of negativity from our lives, making way for positivity and prosperity.
As the effigies go up in flames, it's also a time for people to let go of negativity and hatred from their hearts and embrace happiness and peace. Dussehra is a reminder to conquer our inner demons and let our inner light shine.
