Gurugram, October 16, 2020- Dussehra, widely celebrated across various ethnicities and cultures in Hindus in India and Asia takes place on the 10th day as the holy days of Navratri end. It marks the end of evil and darkness and the victory of good and light. Often called Vijay Dashmi in Hindi, it is the day when Lord Ram killed Raavan and emerged victorious. It is celebrated by burning effigies of Raavan and his brothers and celebrating victory of good over evil. While the main purpose of Dussehra or Vijay Dashmi is the victory of Ram over Raavan, there are several rituals associated with the festival. One of the rituals is Tikka or teeka which siblings celebrate. Widely celebrated in North India, on this day sisters put tikka or roli on their brothers forehead and pray for his well being. This ritual is similar to the Bhai dooj tikka or Rakshabandhan celebrations. Brothers, in return give Tikka gifts for gifts for Dussehra to their sisters. Both siblings often exchange Dussehra gifts [URL=https://www.indiagift.in/festivals-delivery-online/dussehra]Click Here[/festivals-delivery-online/dussehra] in the form of dry fruits, sweets, chocolates etc with each other. More often than not, the gifts associated with Dussehra revolve around food items as the festival is associated with feasting.
Other than applying tikka, in some parts of North India, Dussehra is also symbolic of the harvest time. To celebrate this, some sects also believe in planting barley(Jau in hindi) during the Navratri times. The plant takes roots and becomes a small plant during the 9 days of Navratri. The plant is then cut and these healthy plants are also then given to the brother as a ‘good luck’ wish for harvest times. This is another ritual associated with Tikka celebrations for Dussehra in India.
