दशहरा का पर्व भी प्रतिवर्ष शारदीय नवरात्र की दशमी की तिथि को लगभग सम्पूर्ण भारत में बड़े हर्षोल्लास के साथा मनाया जाता है। माना जाता है कि इसी दिन भगवान राम ने बुराई के पर्याय लंका के राजा रावण का वध किया था। अतः दशहरे के पर्व को हमारे देश में बुराई पर अच्छाई की विजय के रूप में मनाया जाता है। राम को जहां अच्छाई का प्रतीक माना जाता है वही रावण को बुराईयों का प्रतीक माना जाता है। हमारे देश में आज भी अशिक्षा, बढ़ता प्रदूषण, महिला हत्याचार, कुपोषण, भ्रष्टाचार आदि जैसी अनेक सामजिक बुराईयां विद्यमान हैं।

Why, When and How Dussehra is Celebrated and Where you should do it

India is a land of festivals, and the biggest fiestas of them all is Diwali. But 20 days before the euphoria of the Festival of Lights comes another cultural carnival that's equally crucial as per the Hindu mythology and observed with great enthusiasm. And that festival is Dusshera, which marks Lord Rama's victory over Ravana. Dussehra or Vijayadashami also commemorates the end of Navratri, a nine-day long festival. Keep reading to know more about Dussehra and the best places to celebrate it.

Why is Dussehra Celebrated?

Dussehra is shrouded in Hindu epics and mythology. While in some areas of the country it commemorates the day when the warrior Goddess Durga came victorious over buffalo demon Mahishasur, in other places it marks the day when Lord Rama killed Ravana, who abducted his wife, Sita.

When is Dussehra Celebrated?

Dussehra falls on the tenth day of the Ashvin month of the Hindu calendar, which typically falls in September or October of the Gregorian calendar. This year, India and the world will be observing Vijayadashami on the 19th day of October.

How is Dussehra Celebrated?

Dussehra is celebrated in varying ways in different parts of the country. In most parts, huge effigies of the demon king Ravana are burnt to symbolise the victory of good over evil. In others, people carry out large processions with idols of various deities like Durga, Saraswati, Lakshmi, Karthik and Ganesh and immerse those in rivers and other water bodies.

People also participate in Ram Leela, wherein they enact the crucial events of Ramayana. The plays continue for nine days of Navaratri and Dussehra is the final act where Lord Rama kills Ravana.

Where to Celebrate Dussehra?

We Indians are really fond of our festivals, and Dussehra is no exception to that. No matter where you go during the festive season, you are sure to be swept away by high spirits and glee. But there are some places where you can indulge in a truly unique Dussehra celebration. Wondering what places are these? Just keep reading.

1.       Delhi

As Dussehra makes its way, the bustling national capital turns into a playground of Ram Leelas. And the best place to view this enactment of Ramayana is Ramlila Maidan. Thousands of Delhiites flock to this sprawling ground on every day of Navaratri to attend the show. On the day of Dussehra, huge effigies of Ravana and his brothers Kumbhakarana and Meghanath are erected and burned down to ashes. Besides, the same view can also be captured in almost all major playgrounds.

2.       Kolkata

If you have never witnessed the festivities of Kolkata during Vijayadashami, then you ought to book cheap flight tickets to this capital of West Bengal the next time you get a chance. The five-day festival of Durga Puja observed right before Vijayadashami is an extravaganza that keeps the streets of the city swamped with devotees. It is perhaps the best time to visit Kolkata.

3.       Mysore

If you plan on celebrating Dussehra in the southern part of the country, then Mysore is your best bet. The tradition of celebrating this festival traces its origin back to the 15th century with the king of Vijayanagara. Ever since, the festival is celebrated on an unparalleled scale. The already gorgeous Mysore Palace illuminated by 100000 light bulbs is a true spectacle during this time; enough for you to grab a cheap flight booking offer and fly off to the South Indian city.

4.       Kullu

You may not be expecting to find this renowned hill station on this list, but there’s more to Kullu than meets the eye. This small in Himachal Pradesh, blessed with bounties of nature, shows off its rich culture as Dussehra arrives. Idols of more than 200 regional deities are brought from nearby towns and villages to be a part of the Lord Raghunath’s Rath Yatra. The tradition was started by Raja Jagat Singh of Kullu in the 17th century. It is the only festival where different deities are assembled at one place and worshipped together.

5.       Bastar

Bastar, the heart of the tribal Chhatisgarh, is where you can be a part of a 75-day Dussehra celebration that is all about spirituality, nature, and the presiding deity of the region, Devi Danteshwari. The local monarch King Purushottam Dev is believed to have started this tradition of celebrating Dussehra in the 13th century. Travel to Bastar and get ready to witness a unique way of celebrating Dussehra.

Isn’t it amazing that you could celebrate one festival in so many different ways in one place? India is truly incredible!

Book plane tickets and travel to any of the above-mentioned destinations and celebrate Dussehra like you have never done before.
