Each passing year, homes all around the country eagerly await the festive season ranging across the span of two to three months during this time of the year. The two primary festivals of this time – Diwali and Dussehra are occasions every individual – young or old love to celebrate and enjoy.
Dusshera is known to be the festival of wealth and joy – as well as the celebration of the victory of good over evil. The festival essentially celebrates new beginnings and the triumph of light over darkness. The actual day of Dussehra falls on Tuesday, 8th of October this year. The festival generally falls between the middle of October and the middle of November, although this is decided upon by the Hindu lunar calendar. The word ‘Dussehra’ is obtained from two Sanskrit words – ‘dasha’ and ‘hara’ – that mean defeating the ten.
There are multiple and unique stories behind this festival. One such legend believed is that the Goddess, Durga fought a demon, Mahishasura for 10 days straight, before defeating him. This 10-day period is referred to as ‘Navratri’, while the final day is celebrated as Dussehra. One of the other legends explains Dussehra as the celebration of the destruction of the evil ‘Ravan’ in Hindu Mythology. According to this legend, Rama, Laxmana, and Hanuman and their troup marched to Lanka to kill Ravana who had abducted Rama’s wife Sita. It is on Dussehra that Rama killed Ravana and saved his wife. After killing Ravana, they all returned Ayodhya and that is when Diwali was celebrated by lighting thousands of lamps for their welcome. The festival of Dussehra is celebrated to mark this event by burning the effigies of Ravana in the evening.
This much-awaited period is also coined as the celebration of lights. It is a common tradition that during the festive period, individuals and their families light up their homes with traditional ‘Diya’s’ or with flashy and attractive electrical lighting – commonly purchased from commercial markets, to celebrate the light and happiness in our lives. These pervasive celebrations expectedly increase multiple avenues of business – most particularly the domain of electrical lighting & other devices. Homeowners strive to revamp their homes with new devices and systems, as well as purchase lights and light fixtures to truly celebrate the festival of lights.
