About Dussehra
20 October 2026
Dussehra (Vijayadashami) is the tenth day that crowns the Navratri season. In many regions it commemorates Rama’s victory over Ravana; in others it celebrates Durga’s triumph and the immersion or farewell rites after nine nights of Devi worship. From Ramlila grounds and Ravana effigies to Mysore Dasara processions and South Indian Ayudha Puja, the day’s forms differ while the message stays clear: uphold dharma, renew courage, and begin auspicious work with a clean heart. On Madhuma you will find festival essentials for a respectful home observance—incense, diyas, and puja items—so your Dussehra feels ready and calm.
