History of Dussehra
The origin of Dussehra also has its roots in the Indian epic ‘Ramayana’. It is widely held that the festival actually commemorates the killing of the great king of Lanka, Ravan by Lord Rama. The epic mentions how lord Rama, the god-incarnate, went to serve a period of exile for 14 years under the order of his father. Along with his devoted wife sita and his faithful brother Lakshmana, Rama faced many hardships during this period prominent among which was the abduction of Sita by the ten-headed Rama. Rama with brother Lakshman, follower Hanuman and an army of monkeys on his side Rama fought a great battle for ten days to rescue his wife. Since then, the observance of Dussehra is more in admiration of Lord rama than Goddess Durga.
