Dussehra and Vijay Dashmi represent different names for the same Hindu festival, observed on the tenth day of the Ashvin month in the Hindu calendar. This significant festival symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and is also known as Dasara, Dashain, and Navratri Puja in different regions.
The festival is being celebrated across the country today. In many parts several rallies have been planned with two big rallies by Shiv Sena factions to be taken out in Mumbai today. Over 15,000 police personnel have been deployed in Mumbai, in view of Dussehra rallies of both factions of Shiv Sena and immersion of goddesses Durga idols.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) also organised its annual Vijayadashami Utsav in Nagpur city, where singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan attended as the chief guest.
In view of Dussehra festivities, there will be certain traffic restrictions in Delhi, Mumbai, Noida and some other parts to ensure smooth traffic flow. Several roads will be blocked and traffic will be diverted to avoid congestion.
Here are the Highlights on Dussehra 2023 celebrations:
अच्छाई की बुराई पर जीत के महापर्व, विजयदशमी की सभी को हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। असत्य और अहंकार का नाश हो, सत्य और मानवता का सभी के जीवन में वास हो।
