Dussehra celebrates the Hindu God Rama's victory over the demon king Ravana and the triumph of good over evil. The epic Ramayana tells the story of the Lord Rama who wins the lovely Sita from Ravana, the demon king of Lanka. Together with his brother Lakshman and a troupe of monkeys led by his devotee Hanuman, he got into a war with Ravana which lasted for nine days and victoriously defeated the ten-headed demon king on the tenth day.

This day came to be known as Vijaydashmi or Dussehra (meaning victory attained on the tenth day).
