The many ways Preschools & Daycares across India celebrate Dussehra

India is known as a land of festivals and celebrations. One of the popular festivals celebrated is Dussehra by Hindus all over India. It is believed that the war between Ram and Ravana went on during these 10 days and Ravana was killed by Ram on the tenth day. Ravana is said to have abducted Ram’s wife Sita and was also known as a dictating ruler. The end of Ravana meant end of bad as he was a demon by birth.

It is also known as Vijayadashmi – “Vijaya” means Victory & “Dashmi” means Tenth Day and celebrated as victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahisasura. So, the main message that it gives is Victory of Good over the evil and Success of Truth over lies.
