Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the nation in extending wishes on the occasion of Dussehra. “Best wishes to the countrymen on Vijayadashami. With the blessings of Maa Durga and Lord Shri Ram, I wish that all of you achieve victory in every sphere of life,” PM Modi posted on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, in Hindi.
देशवासियों को विजयादशमी की असीम शुभकामनाएं। मां दुर्गा और प्रभु श्रीराम के आशीर्वाद से आप सभी को जीवन के हर क्षेत्र में विजय हासिल हो, यही कामना है।— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) October 12, 2024
The festival celebrates the victory of good over evil and is marked by various traditions across India. Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, commemorates the triumph of Lord Ram over the demon king Ravana, symbolizing the victory of righteousness.
During this time, communities come together to organize vibrant processions, dramatic reenactments of the Ramayana, and large effigies of Ravana are burned, signifying the destruction of evil. In many regions, people also engage in prayer and rituals to seek blessings for health, prosperity, and success.
PM Modi’s wishes resonate with the spirit of the festival, encouraging unity and strength among the citizens. As families gather to celebrate, they reflect on the values of courage, sacrifice, and devotion, which are central to the festival’s narrative.
This year, various events and cultural programs are being held across the country, showcasing traditional dance, music, and theater. The essence of Dussehra is not only about the festivities but also about instilling hope and the belief that good will always prevail, fostering a sense of community and shared values.
