The Vijayadashami, better known as Dussehra, Dusshera, or Dasara, is one of the most celebrated Indian Hindu festivals during the end of the Navratri each year. This day is observed on the tenth day of the Hindu Calendar month Ashvin or Karti, which are the 6th and the 7th month of the Hindu Luni-Solar Calendar, which falls on the months of October and September in the Gregorian Calendar.
Happy Vijayadashami 2019 is celebrated in India, mostly by Hindus, to remember the victory of Goddess Durga’s victory of Mahishasura, the Buffalo Demon, to restore and protect Dharma. This day is mostly celebrated in the northern, southern, and western states of India.
This day marks the end of Ramlila and remembers the victory of god Rama over Ravan. This is the same day when Arjuna defeated over 100,000 soldiers by himself and defeated Bhishma, Drona, Karna, Kripa, Ashwatthama, and many more.
During this day, devotees of the Hindu Religion carry out clay statues of Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ganesha, and Kartikeya to a river or an ocean while they play loud music or they chant, and immerse them into the water and say goodbye.
In other parts of India, people set fire on tower effigies of Ravan. This is to show everyone the destruction of the evil one.
