The Auspiciousness Of Vijayadashami:

Dussehra is regarded as an "Abujh Muhurat," meaning that the entire day is considered favourable for starting new ventures such as business, travel, weapon worship, property deals, and more. However, during this period, the gods are believed to be in their resting phase (Devshayan), which is why weddings and housewarming ceremonies are not performed.
