Hi ! Today i want you all to tell about the Indian festival named "DUSSEHRA " ,which is also called as Vijayadashmi or Mahanavami.
Sorry for the late post. I was little busy so i am writing after 5 days. Dussehra was on 30 september. Dussehra is a Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good (RAMA) over evil(RAVAN). It is a gazetted holiday here in India. The celebration of victory starts from navratri and ends with the tenth day of festival Dusehra . Also this is the the end of summer season and start of winter season.
The epic "Ramayana"tells the story of lord Rama who win the Sita for his wife.
