Vijayadashmi also known as Dasara, Dussehra or Dashahara is one of the most important Hindu festivals in our country. The day marks the victory of Lord Rama over the ten-headed demon king Ravana, who abducted Sita Ma, Lord Ram's wife. We all have sweet child-hood memories of celebrating Dussehra in our own towns, cities and villages. Here are just a few.
