Vijayadashami, popularly known as Dussehra is derived from the Sanskrit words 'Dasha' which means ten and 'hara' which means defeat, and it is one of the most significant festivals in India. 
The auspicious festival will be celebrated with great enthusiasm throughout the country tomorrow, October 24, 2023. The festival is celebrated every year on the tenth day of Shukla Paksha of Ashwani month and according to the Gregorian calendar, the day falls either in the month of September or October. 

Why do people celebrate Dussehra?

According to the Hindu epic Ramayana, Lord Rama (Lord Vishnu's eighth incarnation), killed the ten-headed monster Ravana born in Sat-Yuga, when Ravana kidnapped Rama's wife Sita. The death of Ravana is celebrated as the origin of Dussehra.
 
Ram killed Ravana with his brother Lakshman and devotee Hanuman who travelled to Lanka to confront Ravana and get Sita back. During his journey to kill Ravana, Lord Rama prayed to Durga. Lord Ravana defeated Ravana. To commemorate the day, people celebrated Vijayadashami or the Dussehra festival across the country.
The whole country celebrates the victory of good over evil and seeks the blessings of Lord Rama on this day. If you are all set to celebrate this auspicious day with your family or friends, here are the best wishes, quotes, and messages to share.
