Dussehra kick starts India’s festive season with vibrant public events that celebrate the victory of good over evil. Planning a trip to India or a staycation with family and friends? This is the perfect time of year to take a break at Trident’s 5 star hotels in India.

What is Dussehra?

Dussehra celebrations in India wrap up the nine nights of Navratri. During Navratri, people light candles and sing bhajans (devotional songs) to the goddess Durga. On the tenth night, Dussehra takes things up a notch with spectacular public displays. In Delhi NCR, Mumbai and Hyderabad huge idols of Ravana are set on fire, symbolising the victory of good over evil. Over in Bhubaneswar, the celebrations are a little different - idols of Durga are immersed in water, marking her return to the heavens.
