Vijaya Dashami Being Celebrated Across The Country
The festival of Vijaya Dashmi and Dussehra, which marks the triumph of good over evil, is being celebrated across the nation today. This joyous day marks the culmination of the nine-day Navratri festival and the grand Durga Puja celebrations.
The ceremonial Ravana Dahan, or burning of effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna, and Meghanada, also takes place today. Durga Puja festivities conclude on Vijaya Dashami with Durga Visarjan, the ceremonial immersion of the goddess’s idols into rivers, lakes, or artificial water bodies. In the National Capital Delhi, effigies of Ravana, Kumbhkarna and Meghnad will be burnt at different places.
People also perform Ayudha Puja to bless their tools of trade and books, treating it as an incredibly auspicious time to start new businesses, education, or creative ventures.
