New Delhi, October 12 (ANI): Dussehra festivities swept across India on October 12, as the nation celebrated Vijayadashami with great enthusiasm. The festival of Vijayadashami is celebrated almost in every part of the country, and there are several tales associated with it, the most popular being the defeat of the Ravana by Lord Rama, one of the most revered god figures in India. Vijayadashami, or Dussehra, is a prominent Hindu festival celebrated every year at the end of Navaratri. It is observed on the tenth day of the month of Ashvin, the seventh in the Hindu Luni-Solar Calendar. The festival typically falls in the Gregorian calendar months of September and October. The festival also marks the preparations for Diwali, the important festival of lights, which is celebrated twenty days after Vijayadashami.
