Dusserah is celebrated on the occasion of the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana.
People used to enact Ram-Leela before Dusserah.
Subsequently, on the day of Dusserah, people make the statues of Ravana and his
brothers and burn them. This depicts the victory of good over evil, a big lesson to learn.
This festival is a symbol that explains that good deeds will always prevail over evil deeds.
Mythological Background Behind Dusshera
There is a mythological background behind this festival. The dwellers of the Earth
and heaven were troubled and tortured by the notorious demon Mahishasur. Other
heavenly Gods were also afraid of him. The Goddess Durga was born from the fire on their
earnest prayer and request.
Goddess Durga came before the demon, “Mahishasur” as a representation of Shakti,

or power and bravery. Her beauty enchanted the demon, who was then murdered by her.
Heaven and Earth were relieved by his death. Dussehra is celebrated to honour Goddess
Durga’s bravery.
In India, the celebration of Dussehra goes on for 10 days. People celebrate dusshera
as Navaratri in the northern region of India. People adore Goddess Durga and observe a
nine-day fast.
They end their fast and feast lavishly on the ninth day of the holiday. Indian people
from different parts of the state perform "Dandiya" or "Garba on this occasion. Also, they
visit fairs and dress new. They even share sweets with their friends and relatives.
Goddess Durga is thought to depart for heaven on the tenth day, and people make
pious gifts to her with heavy hearts before welcoming her again the next year.
