Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals in India, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. In 2024, Dussehra will be observed on Sunday, October 12, marking the culmination of the nine-day festival of Navratri. It is a day when Hindus across the world come together to celebrate Lord Rama’s victory over the demon king Ravana, as well as the triumph of Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura.
Dussehra is more than just a celebration of ancient mythological tales; it is a reminder of the timeless values of courage, righteousness, and devotion that continue to resonate with people today.
The word “Dussehra” is derived from the Sanskrit words “Dasha” (meaning ten) and “Hara” (meaning defeat), referring to the victory of Lord Rama over the ten-headed demon king, Ravana. The festival also marks the day when Goddess Durga defeated Mahishasura after a fierce battle that lasted nine days, symbolising the ultimate triumph of good over evil.
In Hindu culture, Dussehra is seen as a celebration of righteousness. It represents the victory of Dharma (moral and righteous duty) over Adharma (unrighteousness), and the eternal truth that no matter how powerful evil forces may seem, good will always prevail.
This Dussehra, may your life be filled with blessings, happiness and new opportunities.

Happy Dussehra 2024: Quotes
- “Ever since I have been separated from you, Sita, everything to me has become its very reverse. The fresh and tender leaves on the trees look like tongues of fire; nights appear as dreadful as the night of final dissolution and the moon scorches like the sun. Beds of lotuses are like so many spears planted on the ground, while rain-clouds pour boiling oil as it were. Those that were friendly before, have now become tormenting; the cool, soft and fragrant breezes are now like the hissing serpent. One’s agony is assuaged to some extent even by speaking of it, but to whom shall I speak about it? For there is no one who will understand. The reality about the chord of love that binds you and me, dear, is known to my heart alone; and my heart ever abides with you. Know this to be the essence of my love.” ― Tulsidas, Ramayana
- “Lust, anger, vanity and covetousness are all paths leading to hell. Abjuring, all these adore the Hero of Raghu’s line, whom saints worship.” ― Tulsidas, Ramayana
- “Impatience is the enemy of wisdom; it propels us to jump to conclusions, judge and condemn rather than to understand.” - Lord Ram
- “When Tadaka interrupted Vishwamitra’s yagna, we called her a demon. Now we plan to interrupt Indrajit’s worship. Are we demons too?” - Lord Ram
- “A wise man should foresee tragedy or misfortune and take action to prevent or overcome such tragedy or misfortune well before it strikes. Thus only he can enjoy a safe and good life.” - Lord Ram
- “Abandon pride, which is the same as Tamas-guna (darkness), rooted as it is in ignorance and is a source of considerable pain; and adore Lord Shri Rama, the Chief of the Raghus and an ocean of compassion.” ― Tulsidas, Ramayana
- "Those who have knowledge of dharma say that truth is the highest dharma." - Lord Ram
- "The right path is one that is difficult to walk on, yet it brings happiness." - Valmiki
- “Never consider your opponent, your enemy smaller than you. What Ravana thought of as ordinary apes and bears destroyed his entire army.” - Lord Ram
