Significance of Vijaya Dashami
Vijaya Dashami, celebrated across India, marks the culmination of Navratri and the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana, symbolizing the triumph of dharma over adharma. It is also linked to Goddess Durga’s victory over Mahishasura, highlighting the power of righteousness and devotion.
Communities across the nation celebrate the day with effigies of Ravana being set aflame, processions, prayers, and cultural events. The festival reinforces the values of courage, truth, and moral strength—principles that PM Modi underlined in his greetings.
Leaders Join Citizens in Festive Spirit
Several political leaders and dignitaries have also extended wishes on the occasion. Vijaya Dashami continues to be one of India’s most widely celebrated festivals, uniting people across regions, languages, and communities in shared traditions.
PM Modi’s message on this day comes at a time when the government is emphasizing social unity, cultural pride, and the reinforcement of traditional Indian values. His words echo the broader message of national resilience and harmony that Vijaya Dashami symbolizes.
