Many people of the Hindu faith observe Dussehra through special prayer meetings good food offerings to the gods at home or in temples throughout India.

Dussehra: Victory of Good Over Evil

It marks the end of “Ramlila” and remembers God Rama’s victory over the Ravan. The towering effigies of Ravan symbolizing the evil are burnt with fireworks marking evil’s destruction. The festival also starts the preparation for one of the most important and widely celebrated Diwali, the festival of lights, which is celebrated twenty days after the Vijayadashami.

Ram Leela is also a huge part of the nine-day festival of Navratri that includes skits, plays and musical shows revolving around some memorable episodes from Ramayana. The venues of Ram Leela also have some lip-smacking stalls of snacks. From chaats to desserts to candies, Ram Leela pandal is a foodie’s paradise. On Vijay Dashmi, Bengalis, after celebrating the Goddess’s journey to her maternal home during the nine days, mark her return to heaven. One of the most popular features of this day is the tradition of Sindur Khela, wherein married women smear vermilion on each other after making offerings to the Goddess. The idol of Goddess Durga is then immersed in a water body.

Food is, of course, a major part of Dussehra celebration and you can prepare multiple dishes for the same.
