Dussehra 2023, India, a country of high traditions and strong religious beliefs, observes a variety of festivals that reflect triumph, virtue, and intervention of the divine. Of these, the most important is Dussehra, or Vijayadashami, representing good’s victory over evil. Falling on October 24, 2023, the tenth day of Ashwin month, Dussehra not only symbolises the conclusion of the nine-day Navratri festival but also brings along festive cheer for India’s festival of light, Diwali.
In this Astroeshop blog here, we are going to discuss the special importance of Dussehra 2023, how astrological forces are perceived, and why knowing about planetary influence during this sacred time can take your spiritual journey to new heights.
What is Dussehra 2023, and why is it celebrated
Dussehra is the day that the demon king Ravana was defeated by Lord Rama, and Dharma was revived. It is the day Goddess Durga killed the buffalo-demon Mahishasura in a nine-day fight in another myth. Both these myths also lead us to the subject of Dussehra — of good conquering evil, of light over darkness.
decked in pomp in almost every nook and cranny of India, Dussehra has slightly variant meanings in each state, but conveys a timelessly strong message.
