Happy Dussehra 2018: Dussehra or Vijayadashami is celebrated on the 10th day of Navratri. This year, it will fall on October 19. Literally, Vijayadashami is a combination of two words- Vijaya meaning victory and dashami refers to tenth. On the other hand, Dussehra is also derived from two Sanskrit words- dasha and hara which mean ten and defeat respectively. The festival which marks the victory of good over evil falls in the month of Ashvin, as per Hindu lunar calendar. Click Here Happy Dussehra 2018 wishes, Images, Quotes in Hindi

Dussehra is celebrated in different ways across India. While in North and West India, it is primarily about burning the giant effigies of Ravana, Meghnad and Kumbhakarana, in Eastern regions, idols of Goddess Durga are immersed in water bodies. In West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand, where Durga Puja celebration kick-starts from the sixth day of Navratri ends on Dussehra.
