Happy Dussehra 2020: Wishes, Quotes, WhatsApp and Facebook status

New Delhi, Oct 23: Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashmi, marks the victory of Lord Ram over the evil King Ravana. On this day, effigies of the latter are burnt to signify the triumph of victory of good over evil across the country.

In some parts of India, the day is also celebrated as Vijayadashmi, to commemorate the day Goddess Durga defeated the buffalo king Mahishasura.

For Bengalis, the day begins with the traditional Maa Boron - that is, prepping the Goddess for her journey back to Mount Kailash. The highlight is the sindoor khela, for which married women get together and smear some vermillion on Goddess Durga, and on each other.

This year Dasara falls on 25th october.
