According to the great hindu epic Ramayana, Lord Rama fought against Ravana for 10 days and killed ten-headed devil Ravana on the 10th day. This victory of Lord Rama also signifies the victory of good over evil.
Dussehra (‘RavanPora’ in Bengali), a major Indian festival where people burn the demon king Ravana, is celebrated across India. In Sanskrit, Dussehra means taking away of ten vices. Thus, Ravana is more of a symbol of these vices rather than a mythological figure. Dussehra symbolizes the burning of these vices from their root. It is considered as triumph of virtue over sin or immorality.
The day is believed to be a mascot for everyone with new hopes of ascertaining something worthwhile. However, that is only possible when we put in our best efforts to burn our past sins and misdeeds through God’s loving and powerful remembrance and thus become viceless and pure.
