Dussehra and Vijayadashami are two significant festivals celebrated across India with great enthusiasm and fervor. While Dussehra marks the triumph of good over evil, Vijayadashami signifies the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura.
The Significance of Dussehra
Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is celebrated on the tenth day of the Hindu month of Ashvin (September-October). It commemorates the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana, symbolizing the triumph of righteousness over wickedness.
Celebrations of Vijayadashami
Vijayadashami, observed on the same day as Dussehra, holds special significance for Bengali Hindus. It marks the culmination of the Durga Puja festival, with the immersion of Goddess Durga's idol in water bodies, accompanied by joyous processions and festivities.
