Dussehra wishes
Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashmi will be celebrated on the 19th of October this year. 'Vijay' refers to victory and 'Dashami' refers to tenth. This popular Hindu festival, celebrated at the end of Navratri each year, signifies the victory of good over evil. The word Dussehra is derived from the Sanskrit words "dasha" and "hara" which mean "ten" and "defeat" respectively. Dussehra is celebrated on the 10th day of the month of Ashvin.
Dussehra is celebrated in different ways in different parts of India. In West Bengal, Durga Puja celebrations begin on Sashti or the sixth day of Navratri and continue till Vijayadashmi - when idols of Goddess Durga are immersed in water bodies. It is believed that Durga led a nine day long battle against the demon Mahishasur and killed him on the tenth day. This is why the different manifestations of goddess Durga are worshiped during the Navratri festival each year and the tenth day is dedicated to Durga as Vijayadashmi.
