Dussehra Legend:
People think that the festival was named Dussara because it was on this day that Lord Rama killed Ravana, who had ten heads (Das Sar). Since then, the 10 heads of Ravana have been burned as symbols of lust, anger, greed, delusion, drunkenness, envy, selfishness, unfairness, inhumanity, and ego.
Duryodhan beat the Pandavas at a game of chance. As promised, the Pandavas had to live in hiding for an extra year after their 12 years of exile. During that last year, they had to stay hidden from everyone, because if anyone found them, they would have to go back into hiding for another 12 years. Arjuna hid his bow, Gandiva, on a Shami tree for a year and worked for King Viraat under the name Brihannala. When the King’s son asked Arjuna to help him protect the cows, Arjuna got his bow from the Shami tree and beat the enemy.

Dussehra Puja & Celebration of the Aparajita Puja will be performed during the Aparahna Kaal.
Below is the Aparajita Puja Vidhi:
- Find a holy and lucky place to worship that is northeast of your home. It could be near a temple, garden, or other place. It would be great if everyone in the family could join the Puja. But it can also be done by a single person.
- Clean the area and use Sandalwood paste to make an Ashtadal Chakra, which is a ring of eight lotus petals.
- Now, make a promise that you are doing this Goddess Aparajita Puja for the good of yourself and your family.
Then, call on Goddess Aparajita in the middle of the Chakra.
- Now, call on Goddess Jaya to her right.
- On her left, invoke Goddess Vijaya
- Then, you should do Shodashopachara Puja.
- Now, pray, “Dear Goddess, I’ve done the Puja rituals as best I could; please accept them before I leave.”
- Do Namaskar now that the Puja is over.
- Perform Visarjan
