Dussehra
is a Sanskrit word which translates to ‘ten (DASHRA) defeat (HARA)’ in English
as it is known that demon King Ravana had 10 heads. According to the Hindu
calendar, this day falls on the 10th day of the month of Ashvina which
overlaps with September-October in the Gregorian calendar. In 2020, Toady is Dussehra 25th October.
Dussehra History
According to legends, Ravana abducted the wife of Lord Rama
which led to a deadly war between them. Demonic King Ravana was given a boon of
being indestructible by Lord Brahma. After several events, Rama managed to kill
Ravana by shooting an arrow through his belly-button. Therefore, the 10th day
of Ashvina month of the Hindu calendar is celebrated as Dussehra, every year.
There’s
one more legend behind this festival. According to Mahabharat, this day
commemorates the victory of Arjuna who single-handedly defeated the entire
Kaurava Army. Arjuna is also known as Vijaya and hence, the day he destroyed
the army is referred to as the ‘Vijaya Dashami’.
Many
people throughout the nation celebrate this day as an occasion to honour the victory of good over evil. Devotees in the Eastern parts of India observe this
day as the end of Durga Puja which begins with the festival
of Navratri.
