President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday extended her heartfelt greetings to the people of India on the occasion of Vijayadashami.
She prayed for inspiration to build a nation where citizens live in peace, harmony, and mutual respect.
Taking to X, President Murmu posted, “On the auspicious occasion of Vijayadashami, I extend my warm greetings and best wishes to all fellow citizens.”
Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, falls on the tenth day of the month of Ashvin in the Hindu lunisolar calendar, marking the culmination of Shardiya Navaratri. The festival symbolises the victory of good over evil, Dharma over Adharma.
The word Vijayadashami combines ‘vijaya’, meaning victory, and ‘dashami’, the tenth day.
The festival, however, commemorates the triumph of righteousness over evil, urging people to uphold ethical conduct, compassion, and fairness in daily life.
President Murmu’s message underlines the enduring relevance of these principles in contemporary society, promoting moral strength, social cohesion, and collective welfare.
Earlier on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also conveyed his greetings on Vijayadashami via social media.
He described the festival as a ‘symbol of the victory of good and truth over evil and untruth’, wishing that it inspires everyone to progress on the path of courage, wisdom, and devotion.
He extended his warmest greetings to all citizens, noting the importance of embracing positive qualities and contributing to the nation’s progress.
Both the President and the Prime Minister highlighted Vijayadashami as a festival that not only celebrates victory over evil but also reminds citizens to uphold moral values, promote social harmony, and strive collectively towards building a just and inclusive society.
