Vijayadashami, more commonly known as Dussehra, is a festival celebrated every year at the end of Durga Puja and Navaratri. The festival symbolises the triumph of good over evil.

“Vijayadashami is a symbol of the victory of truth over untruth, righteousness over unrighteousness, and justice over injustice. This festival reminds us that no matter how powerful evil may seem, ultimately, truth prevails,” the CM said in a social media post.
He appealed to people to stand against all forms of evil and to strengthen brotherhood in society.
“Let us all resolve to stand against injustice, discrimination, and all forms of evil, and to strengthen love, harmony, and brotherhood. Heartfelt wishes for Vijayadashami to you all. Shubho Vijaya!” he added.
