Shri Rama, the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu was born as a human to eradicate the earth of the negative forces especially by killing the demon king, Ravana. The great Indian epic, Ramayana narrates the tale of Rama defeating Ravana in a long-battle after the tyrant king abducted Rama’s wife, Sita. According to Hindu mythology, Rama prayed to Maa Durga for her blessings, and he emerged victorious on Vijayadashami, the same day Maa Durga killed buffalo demon Mahishasura. Vijayadashami is a combination of two words ‘Vijaya means victory’ and ‘Dashami means tenth’. When is Dussehra 2018? Confusion Over Date - Vijay Dashmi on October 19, Public Holiday on October 18.
