As the sun dawns on Bharat, the nation celebrates the auspicious day of Vijay Dashami. While most only remember this festival of Lord Ram‘s battle with Ravana; this day also marks the end of the eternal battle of light over darkness. The rhythmic beat of the dhak and the enchanting aroma of dhunuchi dance through the air. The sky reverberates with echoes of ‘Durga Mata Ki Jai,’ heralding the ultimate victory of the Divine Mother over Mahishasura.

Her divine strength and unwavering determination have once again vanquished the embodiment of evil, the demon Mahishasura.
