War between Ram and Ravana

Before the Ravana Dahan program, the war between Ram and Ravana was staged. Ram killed Ravana by shooting an arrow in his navel. After this, the effigies of Ravana, Meghnad and Kumbhakaran were burnt.

Why do we celebrate Vijayadashami?

The festival of Vijayadashami has special significance in the Hindu society. This festival comes on Dashami day every year after the 9-day Navratri. On this day, effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakaran and Meghnad are burnt at various places in every state and district of the country.

This day is celebrated as the victory of good over evil and the victory of religion over unrighteousness. It is believed in Hinduism that in Treta Yuga, Lord Rama killed Ravana on the day of Dussehra. Therefore, this day is celebrated as a celebration of the victory of Lord Rama.

What is the story of Ram and Ravana?

Although almost everyone knows this story, yet we are telling you about it here. Ram, the son of King Dasharatha of Ayodhya, was serving 14 years of exile with his brother Laxman and wife Sita. During this time Ravana abducted Sita.

When Ram and Laxman went out in search of Sita, they met Hanuman ji. With the help of Hanuman ji and the army of monkeys, Lord Rama attacked Ravana's Lanka. During this time a fierce battle took place between Ram and Ravana, in which Ravana was killed and Ram won. Since then, Hindu society celebrates Dussehra as a festival. This day reminds us of the victory of good over evil.
