Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, is a significant Hindu festival observed annually at the conclusion of Navaratri. This festival occurs on the tenth day of the month of Ashvin, which corresponds to the seventh month in the Hindu Luni-Solar Calendar. Typically, Vijayadashami falls within the Gregorian calendar months of September and October.

Vijayadashami is celebrated with enthusiasm in various regions across the country, with several narratives associated with it. Among the most well-known is the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana, a revered figure in Indian mythology.

This festival also marks the commencement of preparations for Diwali, the widely celebrated festival of lights, which takes place twenty days after Vijayadashami.
