Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Happy Dassera to you.As we all know, Dassera marks the end of Navraatri, the festival of nine(Nav) nights (raatri).Dassera also marks the day when Lord Ram after a hard foughtbattle against the king of Lanka, Raavan (who had abducted Lord Ram's wife Sita), which lasted for 9 days, killed Raavanon the 10th day and won the battle (hence the name Vijayadashmi.Vijaya - victory, dashami - 10th day).Dassera not only marks the victory of Ram over Raavan but rather signifies the victory over good over evil, of 'satya' (truth) over'asatya' (falsehood).
