Significance of Vijayadashami

People celebrate Vijayadashami, commonly known as Dussehra, on the tenth day (Dashami) of the Hindu month of Ashvin.

The word itself combines ‘Vijaya’ (victory) and ‘Dashami’ (tenth), denoting the triumph of righteousness over evil.

The festival commemorates Lord Ram’s victory over Ravana, symbolising the eternal victory of truth, virtue, and justice.

The day also signifies Goddess Durga’s triumph over the demon Mahishasura, reaffirming the strength of good in overcoming evil forces.

Meanwhile, across India, devotees mark the day with Ramlila performances, Ravana Dahan, and prayers seeking divine guidance for righteous living.

May every heart be illuminated by the light of righteousness and truth through the grace of Lord Shri Ram,” he posted.
