The Dussehra festival is also well-known as Vijayadashami. This is one of the most far and wide famous festivals of India. In accordance with the Ramayana, one of the Hindu’s pious scriptures, Lord Rama performed the chandi puja to request the blessings of Goddess Durga for taking life or (killing) Ravana.
Ravana, the demon who had ten heads, was a king of Lanka who had abducted Lord Rama’s wife Sita. Thus, Dussehra also symbolizes the victory of good over evil and the ending of the kingdom of Lanka.
