What is the tradition of Dussehra?
Dussehra, also known as Dasara or Vijayadashami is a Hindu festival that is celebrated on the occasion of Lord Rama's victory🏹 over the demon king, Ravana. The name Dussehra is derived from the Sanskrit words 'Dasha' (ten) and 'Hara (defeat). The festival syombolizes the victory of good over evil. Dussehra marks the end of the nine-day Navratri festival and the tenth day of Durga Puja festival. It is seen by many as the start of preparations for Diwali, which takes place twenty days after Dussehra.
The celebrations include Ram Lila, a theatrical performance by various artists depicting the story or his life. Later at night, Ravana's effigies, often along with those of Meghnada (Ravana's son) and Kumbhkarana (Ravana's brother), are packed with firecrackers and set ablaze in open fields.
How is Dussehra celebrated at home?
During Dussehra, you take time off from your work to spend it with family, friends, and neighbors to come together in celebration. You don't have to attend a grand public gathering if you don't want to. With a bit of creativity and planning, you can celebrate this auspicious festival right at home.
Decorate your home with flowers, lights, and traditional Indian motifs to set the festive mood. Marigold flowers are usually used for the decorations. Make vibrant 'rangoli' designs at the entrance of your house. Be creative and use bright, colorful powders to make your designs pop.
Start your day early with a Durga or Saraswati Puja🙏. This is generally done at a small altar or prayer room in the home where idols or pictures of gods are kept. You can recite traditional mantras, light incense, and pray for the well-being of you and your loved ones.
Although you're celebrating at home, that doesn't mean you have to do so alone. Invite family members or close friends virtually via video calls. Share stories, sing devotional songs, or even perform a little skit to narrate the tale of Lord Ram and Ravana, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.
No Indian festival is complete without mouthwatering dishes. On Dussehra, it's a tradition to prepare and share a variety of sweet treats. You can make 'jalebi', 'rava kesari', or 'besan ladoo' at home. Savor these delightful dishes with your family, and don't forget to share with neighbors maintaining social distancing norms.
Involve your kids in this celebration by engaging them in craft activities. Making bows, arrows, and effigies could give them a sense of the festival's essence and the significance of Lord Ram's victory over Ravana. You might as well send them Dussehra gifts as children would very much love them.
Use this auspicious day to reflect on your own struggles with evil, whether literal or metaphorical, and how you've worked to overcome them. It's a good opportunity to teach children about the values of truth, bravery, and righteousness.
