Dussehra (which is also called Vijayadashami) is a Hindu festival that's celebrated around the world. Similar to Diwali, the holiday is widely celebrated in India. It comes at the end of a major festival called Navaratri. Dussehra typically happens in the month of September or October, though the date changes each year. This year, Dussehra is on October 24, 2023. If you're looking for Dussehra wishes to share with friends and family, we have 50 ideas ahead. But first, read on to learn more about the festival and what it celebrates.

"In India, the essence of Dussehra revolves around the victory of good over evil," Archita Sivakumar Fritz, founder and principal at Ready Set Bold shares with Woman's Day. She grew up celebrating Dussehra in India, and now is passing the traditions along to her children, who she is raising in Germany. "The intriguing aspect is how every state has its own unique way of celebrating it. In Bangalore, where I grew up, Dussehra was more than just a festival; it symbolized the Shakti — the divine feminine power. As a woman, this festival always held a profound significance, resonating deeply with the strength and values my mom instilled in me."

Fritz also explains that the day celebrates the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana and Goddess Durga's triumph over the buffalo demon Mahishasura. "The festival's very essence is victory — victory of good over evil, of righteousness over deceit," she says.
