Story of Dussehra
According to mythological belief, this festival got its name Dussehra because on this day Lord Purushottam Rama killed the ten-headed Atavayi Ravana. Since then, the ten-headed effigy of Ravana is lit every year on the day of Dussehra as a symbol to destroy our inner anger, greed, confusion, intoxication, jealousy, selfishness, injustice, inhumanity and arrogance.
According to the legend of Mahabharata, Duryodhana defeated the Pandavas in gambling. As per the condition, the Pandavas had to remain in exile for 12 years, while for a year they also had to remain in exile. He was to remain hidden from everyone during the exile and if anyone found him, he would have to face the brunt of 12 years of exile again. For this reason, Arjuna hid his Gandiv Dhanush for that one year on a tree called Shami and started working as a pseudonym of a Brahmanla for King Virat. Once the son of that king asked Arjuna for help to protect his cow, Arjuna defeated his enemies by withdrawing his bow from the shami tree.
• According to another legend, when Lord Shri Ram started his journey to climb Lanka, the Shami tree declared him victorious.
• If you really want to taste this festival then go to Mysore. Mysore Dussehra festival is celebrated in a very big form which is very famous. From the Dussehra festival, people start their preparations for the Diwali festival.
With this information, we hope that you will be able to make this day auspicious for you.
