Vijaydashami,also known as Dashahara or Dusshera is one of the most important festival celebrated in various forms across India,Nepal and Bangladesh.It is celebrated on the tenth day of Lunar month of Hindu's calendar.The day marks the victory of Goddess Durga over demon Mahishasur and also Rama's victory over Ravana.Dashahara literally means Dasha(ten) and Hara(Defeat) referring to the defeat of ten headed demon Ravana by Rama.
Dusshera is one of the festival which makes me feel very happy as we usually celebrate Dusshera in my native Bidar alongwith grandparents and other cousins.It is one such festival which brings all our family members together.This Dusshera was really special because every member of the family were present.It was so happening that everytime one or the other cousin or uncle or aunt were missing because of some exams,work etc.So this time it was really special and I had a great time with the complete family.As the whole Family was present after three years,we had a family photo session,where a photographer close to our family took the initiative to do the needful by clicking awesome photographs.
I also witnessed an event in Nehru stadium,where a statue of Ravana was burnt in order to mark the victory of Rama over Ravana.And one more speciality of this festival is the way of celebration in my native.In my native,during dusshera festival,a tradition is followed wherin leaves are exchanged with family members and others.While exchanging,if the two people are of same age they hug each other and wish each other,if one is younger and one is elder,the younger person falls to the feet of the elder and takes blessings.These leaves are considered to be bangara(gold) and byali(silver).So this tradition was followed throughout the evening.It was succeeded by a massive dinner and loads of HAPPINESS.
May such wonderful Dusshera festival keep repeating throughout my lifetime and let everyone keep consistently progressing in their lives from this festival.
