Dussehra (Vijaya Dashami, Dasara, or Dashain) is a Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil . It is a gazetted holiday in India, which is marked on the 10th day of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Ashvin (Ashwayuja), according to the Hindu calendar. Dussehra is a Hindu festival marking the triumph of Rama , an avatar of Vishnu, over the 10-headed demon king Ravana, who abducted Rama’s wife, Sita. The holiday thus symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Dussehra , also known as Vijayadashami, marks the victory of Lord Ram over Ravan and Maa Durga over Mahishasura, celebrating good's triumph over evil. This festival is observed with traditions like Ramleela enactments, burning Ravan effigies, and regional rituals like Sindoor Khela and Kullu Dussehra festivities. After nine days of Navratri, the tenth and final day is Dussehra or Vijayadashami. The nine days of Navratri represent the three fundamental qualities of human nature quantified as Tamas, Rajas, and Sattva.
