A Very Happy Vijayadashmi to All of You!

A major part of India is celebrating Vijayadashmi today. We at DesiCrafts are wishing all Indians who celebrate Dussehra or Vijayadashmi. May goddess Durga bring courage in your life and give you strength to fight for the right causes when necessary. 

The occasion of victory over Ravana and the rakshasas is celebrated as the 10-day Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra. TheRama Leela is publicly performed in many villages, towns and cities in Northern India and also in places where there is a large population of North Indians. 

A very Happy and auspicious Vijayadashmi to you by DesiCrafts Family.

Hindus also celebrate Vijayadashmi as the day of victory of the Goddess Durga over the Rakshas Mahishasur.
