Dussehra 2025: Date, Significance, and Celebrations
Dussehra is a happy holiday where people remember that good always wins.
It happens in October.
It is when Lord Rama beat the bad king Ravana and when Goddess Durga defeated a cruel demon.
People celebrate by watching plays about Rama, burning big statues of Ravana, and in some places, saying goodbye to Goddess Durga in rivers.
It is a time for families and friends to get together, enjoy fireworks, and eat good food.
Dussehra teaches us to be kind and honest because, in the end, good always wins.
Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, will be celebrated on October 2, 2025.
The festival commemorates the victory of good over evil.
In North India, Ram Leela and Ravan Dahan are common celebrations.
In West Bengal, Odisha, and Bihar, Dussehra is celebrated as the last day of Durga Puja with Visarjan.
The day reminds people to be honest and truthful.
