Dussehra is regarded as a sign of good triumphing over evil. Lord Rama, a dignified man, murdered Ravana on this day. As a result, it is known as Vijaya Dashami in many locations; nevertheless, Ravana is also adored in various parts of the country. Ma Durga had defeated the demon Mahishasura on this day. Before Dussehra, the Ramleela is a 14-day performance in which numerous characters portray the Leela or life of Lord Ram on stage. Ravana is murdered on the final day, and Ramleela comes to an end. The day of Dussehra is believed to be extremely auspicious, and hence if someone can choose an auspicious date for marriage, then they can also marry on this day which will be considered to be very fortunate.

It commemorates the day when Lord Rama defeated Ravana, Lanka's ten-headed evil ruler. This day also commemorates the death of Mahishasur, the demon king, who was assassinated by Goddess Durga on this day.

Durga was formed by the Gods by combining their spiritual energies in order to produce an ultimate ‘shakti' capable of annihilating Mahishasur, according to legend.
