What is the importance of Vijayadashami (Dussehra) after Navratri 2025 ends?
2 answer(s)
Answer # 1 #
I see Vijayadashami as the conclusion of Navratri’s spiritual journey. After nine days of devotion and fasting, the tenth day reminds us to apply those teachings in daily life – to remove inner negativity and live with truth and strength. That is the deeper meaning of Dussehra.

Vijayadashami marks the victory of good over evil. It is the day when Goddess Durga defeated Mahishasura and when Lord Rama killed Ravana. People celebrate by burning effigies of Ravana, organizing Ram Leela plays, and performing Shami Puja. It also marks the beginning of new ventures, as starting anything on Vijayadashami is considered very auspicious.
