Dusshrea Festival - Dasara Festival
Information On All Maharashtra Festivals - Festivals Celebrated in Maharashtra
Dusshrea also called as Navaratri, is a festival of 9 days. According to the great Hindu epic Ramayan, Dussehra or Dussara is the day on which Lord Ram killed Ravan, the evil king of Lanka. It is considered as a shubh-muharat - a very auspicious day - to start a new venture.
It symbolizes the victory of good over evil. People decorate the entrances of their homes with torans, marigold flower studded strings, and worship the tools of trade, vehicles, machinery, weapons and books.
As the evening falls, the villagers cross the border, a ritual known as Simollanghan, and worship the Shami tree. The leaves of the Apta tree are collected and exchanged among friends and relatives as gold.
