Dussehra is a very important festival for Hindus because it teaches us that good always wins over evil. The festival is celebrated to remember two great stories:
Victory of Lord Rama: In the Ramayana, Lord Rama fought against the evil king Ravana, who had kidnapped his wife, Sita. After a long battle, Rama defeated Ravana on Dussehra, which shows that being good and doing the right things will always win in the end.
Goddess Durga’s Victory: In another story, Dussehra or Dasara is also known as Vijayadashami. Goddess Durga fought and defeated a demon named Mahishasura. This also happened on Dussehra, which is why it is a day to celebrate the power of good and the courage to fight evil.
Dussehra is celebrated with great joy all over India. People burn big models of Ravana to show the defeat of evil, and in some places, they worship Goddess Durga. The festival reminds us to always be brave, kind, and honest, no matter how difficult things get.
