Dussehra, also
referred to as Vijayadashami, Dasara, Durga-Visarjan or Dusshera in Hindu
culture is celebrated just after the nine Navratri
days. This notable festival begins on the sixth day of the waning moon in
Ashwin/Kartika month and ends on the tenth day which falls either in September
or October as per the Gregorian calendar. Dussehra falls on Monday, 26 October 2020 as per Hindu Lunar Calendar.
Durga Visarjan:
Besides,
celebrating Dusshera in the evening, Durga Visarjan also happens during the
day time which is considered as the tenth day of the Navratri. Therefore, according
to Hindu calendar, Durga Visarjan is glorified as the last day of Navratri that
is celebrated after auspicious nine days of Durga puja among the Hindu admirers. History says: As per
Hindu Puranas, this revered day also
showcases the triumph of Mother Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura after fighting for nine
nights and ten days.
Vijaya Dasami
Durga Visarjan/Dussehra
is also termed as Vijaya Dasami or Ayudhapuja. It is depicted in Ramayana
texts that on this venerated day Lord Rama and Laxman killed the Ravana since
he had abducted Goddess Sita. Thus, in
Indian culture, Vijaya Dasami is the
solemnization of immortal victory of good over evil after 9 nights of penance.
