Happy Dussehra 2023 Wishes: Spread the Joy of Vijayadashami
Dussehra, a day of victory and celebration, is just around the corner. This year, Dussehra falls on the 24th of October, 2023. It’s a time when we come together to commemorate the triumph of good over evil and mark the return of Lord Rama with his beloved Sita after defeating the demon king, Ravana. Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is a symbol of righteousness prevailing over unrighteousness.
Dussehra holds great significance in Hindu culture and is celebrated with immense enthusiasm worldwide. It is the day when we bid farewell to negativity, ego, injustice, and cruelty and welcome positivity, righteousness, and goodness into our lives. The day culminates with the burning of effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna, and Meghanada, signifying the victory of light over darkness.
The important Hindu festival of Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is widely observed in India with great fervor. This auspicious day falls on October 24 in 2023. The festival of Dussehra, which honors the triumph of good over evil symbolized by Lord Rama’s victory over the demon king Ravana, is of great cultural and religious significance.
Millions of people have a special place in their hearts for the Dussehra festival. It concludes the nine-day Navaratri festival, during which devotees worship the goddess Durga, a representation of power and strength in the female. The victory of good is celebrated on the tenth day, Vijayadashami, with elaborate processions, music, dance, and the burning of effigies, including one of Ravana.
The epic Ramayana is the source of the Dussehra legend. The ten-headed demon king Ravana, who had kidnapped Sita, was fiercely fought by Lord Rama, his devoted monkey god Hanuman, and their devoted brother Lakshmana. After a bloody and valiant battle, Lord Rama triumphed, saving Sita and restoring the superiority of dharma (righteousness) over adharma (evil). On Dussehra, we commemorate this historic turning point, which stands for the unending triumph of good over evil.
The variety of Dussehra celebrations is as wide-ranging as the nation itself, with each region putting its own distinctive spin on the holiday. In North India, the destruction of evil is symbolized by the burning of effigies of Ravana, his brothers, and his kingdom. The sky is lit up by spectacular processions with intricately crafted effigies.
As we approach this auspicious day, it’s the perfect time to share warm wishes and messages with your friends, family, and loved ones. Let’s make this Dussehra special by sending heartfelt greetings and spreading the joy of Vijayadashami.
