Significance of Dussehra (Restablishment Of Dharma)

Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, marks the victory of good over evil. During this period, Lord Ram killed Ravana and regained Dharma. The Auspicious day falls on the tenth day of the Ashwin month (September-October) as per the Hindu lunar calendar.

Moreover, Dussehra is about hope, It tells every broken heart that you will rise again, truth has its own timing, and it embraces each seeker to keep walking over the righteous path as Lord Shree Ram is within you. And, just like Shree Ram battled ten heads of Ravana, we too are meant to burn our inner demons, so we can rise further.

Shri Ram was Maryada Purushottam (Virtuous man), a king who walked the path of Dharma. Follow his path by offering kindness and performing good karma.

Legend Associated With Dussehra Festival

The holy festival of Dussehra marks the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravan. According to the ancient epic Ramayana, Ravan, the ten-headed ruler of Lanka, abducted Goddess Sita (wife of Lord Rama). In his quest to rescue her, Rama, along with his brother Lakshman, the devoted Hanuman, and a Vanara (monkey) army, waged a mighty war against Ravan.

The war between Shree Ram and Ravana symbolized a cosmic fight between Dharma (righteousness) and Adharma (evil). It was on the tenth day, Lord Rama shot a divine arrow into Ravana's heart, ending his tyranny. Thus, Dussehra celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, and good over evil.

The ten heads of Ravana represent inner vices like ego, anger, greed, jealousy, attachment, fear, selfishness, hatred, lust, and injustice. Burning Ravana’s effigies on Dussehra symbolizes destroying these negative traits within ourselves.
