Dussehra is observed every year on the tenth day (Dashami) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Ashwin, symbolising the triumph of truth over falsehood.
Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is one of the most significant festivals in Hinduism. It is observed every year on the tenth day (Dashami) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Ashwin. According to mythology, Lord Rama killed the demon king Ravana on this day, symbolising the triumph of truth over falsehood.
Since then, the day has been celebrated as Dussehra with great fervor. As per tradition, effigies of Ravana, his brother Kumbhkaran, and his son Meghnad are burnt on this day. The occasion also marks the conclusion of Durga Puja, which includes the customary ritual of weapon worship (Shastra Puja).
