It is named Dussehra, which derives its name from Dasha (ten) and Hara (defeat), and is the celebration of the triumph of Lord Rama over the ten-headed demon king Ravana.
Historical Background of Dussehra
There are two major legends of Dussehra:
- Victory of Lord Rama—It is defined as a day of the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana, which is the strength of truth, justice, and dharma.
- Victory of Goddess Durga—It is also the triumph of the goddess Durga against the demon named Mahishasura, and this marks the triumph of Goddess Durga over the wicked powers.
All the centuries long, Dussehra has been marked by great processions, the playing of Ram Leela, and the burning of effigies of Ravana, Meghnath, and Kumbhkaran.
