Dussehra is an annual festival that marks the end of Navratri. It celebrates the victory of Lord Rama over the 10-headed Lanka king Ravana and thus it signifies the triumph of good over evil for many. The day also highlights goddess Durga’s victory over demon Mahishasura.
Dussehra is also the day when the faithful start to prepare for Diwali or the festival of lights which falls 20 days after Dussehra.
