We at KES’ Sri TP Bhatia College of Science celebrate 22nd Dussehra pooja, also called Dasara or Vijayadashami, in Hinduism, marking the triumph of Rama, an avatar of Vishnu, over the 10-headed demon king Ravana, who abducted Rama’s wife, Sita. The festival’s name is derived from the Sanskrit words dasha (“ten”) and hara (“defeat”).
Dussehra marks the victory of good over evil and is observed on the Dashami Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Ashwina. It is also a day of Shastra puja: Worship of tools and vehicles symbolised fortune and prosperity. You can clean and worship items like vehicles, weapons, machines, farming tools, pens and other items. So this explains our rituals on this auspicious day of the year. All the tools/ equipments in the vocational laboratories are worshipped.
Dussehra marks Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana, with many communities performing Ram-Leela plays before the festival. On Dussehra day, people create effigies of Ravana and his brothers, then burn them. This symbolizes the triumph of good over evil, teaching us that good actions will always conquer evil ones.
Today this festival has the same significance and relevance. The demon is no where but inside us and we have to destroy it by our will power and strength of character.

We should acquire all the good things from them i.e we should learn to respect every living thing, food,ourself, we should have calm mind, we should not go beyond for anything, we should be humble, we should be honest and many things from Rama Although Ravana was here a demon but he wasnt be so. He was been washed his brain. But Ravana was also a great person, he was very smart enough. Like he was a great sage, scientist, intellegent and have buring desire to fullfill his goals But a slightly brain wash has devasted him so I tell that we should have multiple skill but never forget to learn to take good decision in life Read Less
