By Dr. Arun Kumar

New Delhi, Oct 9, 2019: Vijayadashmi, known as the festival of triumph of good over evil was celebrated across India on Tuesday. The festival, also known as Durga Puja and Dussehra is celebrated to remember Lord Ram's victory over Ravana, marking the triumph of good over evil. The day also marks the culmination of Navratri and Durga Puja.

President Ram Nath Kovind participated in Dussehra celebrations at Indraprastha Extension in New Delhi and burnt the effigy of Ravana. Speaking on the occasion, Mr Kovind said, Dussehra is a celebration of the triumph of truth over untruth.

Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh attended Dussehra at Lal Quila parade ground in Old Delhi. Inhis address, Mr Naidu said, Dussehra is a celebration of the universal law that truth alone triumphs in the end.

In West Bengal, Bijoya Dasami, the last day of Durga Puja, was celebrated with the immersion of the Durga idols.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India is a land of festivals and every festival brings the society together.

Addressing Dussehra Celebrations at DDA Ground in Dwarka in the National Capital last evening, Mr. Modi said, festivals connect and mold people.
