Dussehra Images [05]

Dussehra, also called Vijayadashami. It’s the day Hindus celebrate the victory of good over evil, and for most families that means morning prayers, a trip to the Ramlila ground by evening, and a crowd staring up at a tall Ravan effigy waiting to be lit. Behind the festival are two stories: Lord Rama’s defeat of Ravana, and Goddess Durga’s defeat of the demon Mahishasura. Which one people think of first depends a lot on where they grew up.
