Dussehra (Vijayadashami) 2027: Date and the Victory of Dharma
Dussehra 2027 (Vijayadashami) falls on Saturday, 9 October 2027 (as per current panchang), the tenth day after Navratri, celebrating the victory of good over evil.
What it marks
The day commemorates Rama's defeat of Ravana and Durga's of Mahishasura. Towering effigies of Ravana are set alight at dusk, symbolising the burning of ego and wrongdoing.
An auspicious day
Vijayadashami is one of the year's most auspicious days, traditionally chosen to begin studies, buy tools or vehicles, and launch ventures without needing a separate muhurat.
Each Dussehra asks which Ravana within us is ready for the fire.
