The festival of Dussehra, which symbolises the victory of good over evil, will be celebrated on October 5 this year. Every year, Dussehra is celebrated on the tenth day of Ashwin Shukla. As per mythological belief, Lord Rama, a devout believer of Durga, the Goddess of War, prayed to her for the first nine days of battle and killed the demon Ravana on the 10th day with a bow that pierced his navel.
From holi sweets of Guijiya, Modaks at Ganesh Chaturthi, and Rasgulla for Durga Puja to the Diwali sweets of laddu, Kaju barfi, and gulab jamun, there’s plenty of everything to mark the occasion.
