Dasehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is a significant Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil. Observed on the tenth day of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the Ashwin month, it marks the culmination of the Navratri festival and the day when Lord Rama defeated the demon king Ravana.
On the second day of Navratri, we celebrate the divine form of Goddess Brahmacharini, the epitome of devotion, penance, and wisdom. Devotees honor this form of Shakti as they continue their journey of spiritual growth, inspired by her unwavering dedication to the pursuit of truth and knowledge.
Navratri, one of the most revered festivals in Hinduism, is a celebration of the divine feminine energy or Shakti.

As the vibrant festival of Navratri begins, devotees across the country come together to celebrate the divine feminine energy, known as Shakti, through the worship of the Nine Forms of Goddess Durga.
