Ravana Dahan 2024: Significance
Ravana Dahan symbolises the victory of righteousness and justice. This ritual signifies the end of negativity, evil, and ego, reminding us to overcome our inner demons. The story of Lord Rama defeating Ravana is central to Dussehra and is re-enacted through Ramleela performances across India. These performances culminate in the burning of huge effigies of Ravana, along with his brother Kumbhkaran and son Meghnath, which symbolise the defeat of evil.

One of the most popular Hindu holidays in India is Dussehra, also called Vijayadashami, which represents the victory of virtue over evil. The nine day Navratri festival will come to an end on Sunday, October 12, 2024, when Dussehra is celebrated. On this day, Hindus worldwide unite to commemorate the victories of Goddess Durga over the buffalo monster Mahishasura and Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana.
More than merely a celebration of old myths, Dussehra serves as a reminder of the courage, righteousness, and dedication that are eternal virtues that still have meaning for people in modern times.
The Sanskrit terms “Dasha” (meaning ten) and “Hara” (meaning defeat) are the source of the word “Dussehra,” which commemorates Lord Rama’s triumph over the monarch of the 10 heads of the demon Ravana. The festival also commemorates the day that, following a furious nine-day fight, Goddess Durga overcame Mahishasura, signifying the final victory of good over evil.
Dussehra is observed as a festival of morality in Hindu culture. It stands for the triumph of Dharma, or moral and just responsibility, over Adharma, or unrighteousness, and the unchanging reality that good will always triumph over evil, regardless of how strong those forces may appear.
