Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is a major Hindu festival celebrating the victory of good over evil, typically falling in September or October. It marks two main mythological triumphs: Lord Rama's defeat of the demon king Ravana and Goddess Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura. Celebrations include the dramatic re-enactment of the Ramayana through Ramlila and the symbolic burning of effigies of Ravana, which signifies the destruction of evil. The festival also emphasizes the values of truth, courage, and righteousness and includes agricultural and cultural components in various regions.
