Dussehra is a major Hindu festival, celebrated on the tenth day of the Navratri festival, commemorating the victory of good over evil. It marks the defeat of the demon king Ravana by Lord Rama, and in some regions, the goddess Durga's triumph over the buffalo demon Mahishasura. Celebrations include street performances like Ramlila, the burning of large effigies of Ravana, family gatherings, exchanges of sweets, and performing rituals and arts.
