Follow on Google News | The Hindu festival of triumph of Righteousness (Dharma) – VijayadashmiVijayadashami (“Victorious tenth day”) or Dassera is a Hindu celebration which falls on 6th October this year, following nine days of Hindus’ fasting and religious observance of Navratri.
Vijayadashami also commemorates Hindu’s revered incarnation, Rama emerging victorious by slaying the demon king Ravana. This victory is celebrated by burning effigies symbolizing Ravana. In the Hindu epic Mahabharat, the righteous five Pandava brothers ended their exile on Vijayadashmi day by collecting their weapons out of a Shami tree and defeating the unrighteous Kaurava brothers in battle. This victory of Righteousness is celebrated with holy verses and rituals of worshipping the Shami tree, worshipping weapons or implements used in one’s trade, crossing a geographic boundary and worshipping the Deity Aparajita for blessings to remain undefeated (aparajit). In some parts of India, leaves of the Apta tree are offered by the young to the old people signifying the gold brought back by victorious Maratha warriors.
